Drove through Turnagain Pass and Summit Lake to Seward between 3pm and 4pm on Nov.26. Low fog and clouds and couldn’t see much in Turnagain Pass. Visibility was a little better in Summit. In general very little snow below 2500′. Could see a few channeled avalanche chutes with recent debris, but otherwise couldn’t make out any obvious activity.
