Broken clouds some low clouds over area peaks. Consistent 10 mph wind early this morning.
Observation: Chugach State Park
Location: Arctic Valley
We skied up the resort area to the ridge line.
Weather
Snow surface
Wind effect over all surfaces. Up-tracks and downhill turn tracks were mostly filled in with drifted snow. Soft wind crust in many places ranging from 1” to 4” in depth on top of soft remaining snow. Overall, snow still soft but a bit dense from all the wind.
Snowpack
Total snow height around 16” with less on ridge top. Small slabs breaking around our skis. Couldn’t get these slabs to really move with ski cuts and small jumps.
Looking south toward North Bowl from ridge line.
