I think the title explains it fairly well.

Check it out.

I hope this subsides so that flights to Anchorage aren't delayed in May/June. Could make life hard for climbers going to Alaska (e.g. me).

 

I'm also concerned about ash/etc in the air up there.

 

Anyone have any thoughtful/informed perspective on the implications of this volcano behavior on the upcoming climbing season up there?

Too soon to tell, but make certain you dig below the ash layer when you obtain snow for melting.

That was us picked up by TAT in the tordrillo's....pretty intense, and props to paul for making the pick up. The ash up there is a nightmare, but the skiing and climbing is world class

Here's a photo of the ash cloud that drifted across SouthCentral Alaska this past Saturday while we were out skiing. More pix here.
