3-16-17 Gastineau Peak and Troy

Morning lap up Gastineau Peak with a mixed bag of rime, wind affected pow, and trail skiing.  Then a lap up to the Dan Moller cabin with a mini lap of skiing up above it.  3.5-4ft of new now skiing well, for now, with seemingly good stability.

2-17-17 Mt Jumbo

5" of rain, then clear and cold, not a good time to try to ski the Jumbo Couloir.  Oh well, recon.
Downtown Juneau

Looking SE into Gastineau Channel and the Taku Inlet around the corner.

Left to right: Gastineau, Roberts, Sheep Mtn

Rime ice near top of Jumbo

Looking south towards Admiralty Island

Top....no wind, actually warm.

Skied the first few turns (Jumbo Couloir), but the wind had loaded it, then it rained and turned it into 45+ degree ice.  No thanks.
