Happy 4th of July…yesterday

alaskazip — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 21:32:53 +0000

It’s Independence Day (or, it was yesterday), and what a glorious day it turned out to be! We saw an excellent parade celebrating the local police and firemen, featuring the diverse fabric of people that composes Juneau. We even got the sun to make an appearance! It’s always such a treat to experience Juneau on a day like the 4th of July, so those of you who were here on vacation got something really special! Juneau definitely blossoms on days like yesterday, and we’re always proud to be a part of it.

It really does make you appreciate the town you live in when you really get to see it shine. The scores of buoyant, positive people flocking the streets and putting on events, families enjoying the festivities, and enough candy to make you sick; once again, the town came out to join together in the nationally-permeating patriotism, and overall, had a stupendous day!

Independence Day doesn’t have to be the only reason we all decide to get together and have a wonderful time! Who says it’s the end-all for fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, sports games, family reunions, ceremonies, and loving the place that we live in? In fact, we should strive to connect with people in large ways every day. Let’s utilize the good feelings that we feel towards the people around us and the place that we live in, and transform them into positive outlets to show how much we care! It’s never too late to do something fun and wild in a town that we love with the people we cherish, so let’s celebrate our Independence every day!

Wish You Were Here!

Wish You Were Here!

Beautiful days in Juneau!

Hey, everyone! It’s already March 16! Can you believe it?! Summer will be here before we know it. Winter is here still, though, as fresh snow falls and a cold wind blows. We’re in gear preparing for the upcoming season, and things can be crazy. It’s always easy to get caught up in the hustle-and-bustle of life as we go through each day. No matter where you are – Juneau, Maine, Florida, Mexico, New Zealand, and everywhere in between – life can be crazy. Don’t forget to stop for a few minutes each day, though, and appreciate the beauty around you. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face, or the crisp splash of rain drops on your nose; listen to the wind whistle through the trees, and the birds chirp back and forth. There is so much beauty around us each day, we just need to be sure to check it out! To help you get started, here are a few recent photos from Juneau!

Enjoy the day!

Go Big this Year!

alaskazip — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 21:33:52 +0000

As you plan for Valentine’s Day, we want to encourage you to go ‘bigger’ than yourself and significant other this year! Take a look around and see the need in your community. The elderly couple in the neighborhood who take care of each other so much they never do anything nice for themselves; the parents at your child’s school who always lend a hand, but don’t receive any help themselves; a random stranger who looks a bit down on his luck, yet smiles and greets you as you pass. All of these people could use a smile, a bit of relaxation and happiness in their day, and the knowledge that they are not in this alone.

Offer to take the elderly couple to dinner, freeing them of a night of cooking and cleaning. Babysit the parents’ children for the evening so they can go to dinner and relax for a bit. Merely buy the kind stranger a cup of coffee and have a conversation with him. Every small action can have a great impact on the lives of others. Not only that, you never know how helping others will impact your own life. So, instead of spending all of your money on another steak dinner at the local swanky joint for your and yours, go big this year and do something amazing for someone else!

We Love Waterproof Zippers!

We love waterproof zippers. And by waterproof zippers, we mean you — our customers who zipline with us, rain or shine! You’re much more waterproof than any jacket could ever be – not to mention you’re brave, strong, full of excitement, and have an unending love for living adventurously! Thank you, for making Alaska Zipline Adventures the best zipline tour in Alaska! We truly appreciate your support!

It’s almost February 2011! Can you believe it? January has already come and nearly gone! Hopefully, you’re enjoying the new year and making every day count! We’ve started the new year off in a whirlwind of planning for the new season. It’s time to hire, schedule, train, and before long – zipline! Are you ready?! We are! 2011 will be the best year yet!

If you know anyone who would love working with us this summer, have them send a resume and cover letter to info@alaskazip.com! We’re hiring guides, drivers, and several other positions!

We hope you’ll come back to visit this summer! We can’t wait to see you! However, if you can’t join us in Juneau, you can at least stay connected via AlaskaZip.com and our Facebook page!

Have a great week! We’ll see you soon!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

It’s that time of year again! The air is crisp, the snow is falling, and the wood stove crackles as it warms cold bones. Carols are being sung, gifts are wrapped, and ‘Ho, ho, ho’ is echoed through the streets.

During this time of the year, we must remember how blessed we truly are – a roof over our heads, food on our tables, and warm clothes on our backs. We take many of these things for granted, when we should realize these blessings each and every day! Knowing the many great things we have, try to remember those who are less fortunate this holiday season. There are countless individuals who can use your love and support, and not just during this time of year, but every single day. Use this season of giving as a time to jumpstart your drive to help others! Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you must give money to help others; though this is a legitimate use of resources, giving of your time, energy, creativity, and love is just as special to those receiving your effort. So, as you go about your holiday season, remember that you have the opportunity each day to change the lives of others for the positive – your neighbor, the grocery store clerk, the homeless man down the street – you can help! Put a smile on, step out of your comfort zone, and help better the lives of others. Get out there… the world is yours!

Have an amazing Christmas & Holiday Season!
