June 3, 2018, Chinook Pass

Took advantage of the earlier than planned opening of Chinook Pass and choose the extra half hour of driving versus mixing with the masses at Paradise to ski some laps in the pass area. The clouds kept all exposures skiing well even without an overnight freeze. We took a lap on the north side of Yakima Peak, the face above the lower parking lot, and a north facing run on Naches Peak. Lot's of snow and lots of pollen, nothing that some liquid wax couldn't mitigate. Our car was heavily dusted with yellow pollen when we returned so it may be getting stickier. We saw only one other skier and only a handful of vehicles!
