Road to winter trailhead plowed on March 7. 8-10" of new light density snow. Snowed ~S2 from mid-monring until 2pm adding 6cm of new snow during the day. Small period of light winds, generally calm.
Toured up Prelural Hwy to top of North Woods and skied 2 laps on the Funnel. Morning snow on all shelterd aspects lacked cohesion. A biref peroid of sun and warming did affect solar aspects in afternoon becoming a little heavier and showing signs of cohesion.
No avy crowns seen across basin on Tuk, Little Tuk, Noriega, or Exxon. Visible dry loose avalanches from ridges on the faces, but none released a larger slab.
