Clear sky. felt like a spring day
Observation: Girdwood
Location: Max's
Typical route from Virgin Creek. Track through the trees was icy, once out of the trees we noticed a crust about 1 inch thick that lasted until about 2,000 feet then completely disappeared by 2,200 feet.
Overall, ski quality was light powder easy turns in the sun.
