Observed significant wind affect at upper elevations from primarily north winds over the last 24 hours. Mid and low elevations had less wind affect with FCsf on shady aspects and MFcr on solar aspects. One test pit revealed right side up structure. CTH Q2 down 30cm on density change. None of our test pits on the Shoup Glacier, Valdez Glacier, and Stephens Glacier have had the buried SH found south and east of Valdez.
