A new little video clip form one of our last day in the Coastal range, in between Alaska and Yukon. In the middle of the boreal winter, I like to ski on South facing slopes to get a bit of sun. Click on the image below to see the clip.
Skiers are depressed because of the unusual absence of snow in the Whitehorse area. But in the mountains, it is not too bad, even better than some previous years. Snow amount is not too bad, close to 1 meter at White Pass summit, and the stability is mostly good.Not a lot of depth hoar yet,…
