After a couple weeks of high pressure and a melt/freeze corn cycle, Alyeska resort was hit with a nice late season storm on April 1st. Alyeska received approximately a foot of dense snow which couldn't have been better timing. With partly sunny skies and the majority of the mountain open, Simon Evans and I were able to find some big lines. Skiing was consistent and quality all day with the upper mountain staying soft and the lower mountain corning up by late afternoon. The Christmas Chute area and Chilkoot Ridge were stellar.

Alyeska is boasting a total snowfall this season of 588", and the upper mountain pack is still a healthy 158". It should be a solid spring season. The 29th annual Spring Carnival and famous Slush Cup is scheduled for April 21st-23rd. - Jason Scheben
