October in February
The snow pack feels like October in February, the leanest season I can remember. But, main trail skiing is fair on Wolverine and Near Point Trails of Chugach State Park, but off trail is not recommended. There are a few rocks on the Wolverine Peak Trail. Snow transitions from warm and sticky to cooler and drier at 1700 ft elevation.

Not Recommended - CSP
Chugach State Park snow was very thin, stale and hammered by foot traffic. Fine for hiking, but skiing was sketchy. Falling with any speed would likely yield abrasions and blood. But...
It's presently snowing with snow in the forecast for the next three days! AY-OH!

Why Drive?
A fresh inch was worthy on Backdoor Trail from Cindy's Stuckagain Skihaus up to Chugach State Park. The park trails made me appreciate my metal edges on the trusty Fischer Outtabounds Waxbase.
With abundant foot traffic, the park trails are pretty scritchy, and fast. Near Point and Middle Fork Trails ski OK, though a little rough with frozen footsteps under the fresh inch. Though snow conditions are below average, the calm wind, quiet and sunshine made for a thoroughly enjoyable ski.
