Observation: Chugach State Park
Location: South Fork Eagle River / Ship Creek
Skied SE, SW, NW, N, and E aspects between 3,800′ – 2,200′ from the South Fork Trailhead.
30-40cm of new snow bonded well to the old crust surface. North winds the previous night did form some very soft slabs, but no signs of instability on any aspect. No natural avalanches seen in Ship Creek drainage and the South Fork drainage.
SW aspects warmed significantly in the hot afternoon sun. Might be a sun crust tomorrow.
