Heliskiing in the Cleveland / Feather area. East drainage towards Klondike Hwy was more windblown with large, firm sastrugi. Cleveland drainage skied OK, variable snow with a firm but breakable surface in most areas.

Weather

Previous outflow event (3/21 - 3/22) has affected most of the surface structure in the area. Flying over Carmack and Parsons confirmed these areas are also wind blown and/or crossloaded depending on aspect.
