Alyeska Resort squeezed out one more weekend of their healthy '05-'06 season. On Saturday, June 3rd Simon Evans and I arrived at the tram at aleisurely 1:30pm. We missed the sunny skies in the morning as we were greeted with gray-bird, but we still couldn't complain--we were skiing lift served in June.

Despite thethe milky light, visibility was good and the skiing was smooth and forgiving. Due to the warm temps the change in snowpack was drastic compared to last week. The melt was actually creating new lines and features that weren't around last week--slivers of snow to straight line, bottleneck chokes, technical linking of snow patches, dirt patches and bushes to gap, and even the kickers and cat tracks made for some fun jumps. -Jason Scheben
