Great day skiing on the east side of white pass on our final day of AST2 with Skookum Backcountry! Snow was buttery and light in the alpine and in the trees. We found 15 cm of fresh powder on top of wind affected snow. Dug a test pit on a wind affected alpine aspect, it was a bomb proof wind laminated snow pack with no discernible layers of concern. We skied NNW aspects, avoiding S aspects. There was very localized whumpfing in scoured, shallow snow pack areas. Weather was sunny with light SW winds. Temps were cooler in the alpine than at treeline. Woohoo!!
