Sun busted out for the first day of my 34th Chugach-Valdez season and I was not disappointed. I was able to skin from the 27-Mile trailhead a few thousand feet and found 12-16" new snow and deeper where wind loaded. Easily triggered a wet slide with a ski cut on a high south aspect while shaded aspects remained fluffy. Skiing was OK, damp with rock spots. Glacier looked to confusing to ski solo, but another storm is coming on Thursday so that should help with that minor route issue.
Got a new camera so my first video is a bit off since there is really no downhilling being solo and such.

Wonderful day in the mountains. Here's a few pics also.

Something visual as the fog cleared away.
