Skookum Pass

• I'd like to visit site and swap out data logger so that we can retrieve data from Nome again. currently have to use a computer in Fairbanks. Also need to change program to add radio on/off sophistication as the icing the last two winters has been keeping solar panel inaccessible until April (with respect to battery charging)

• don't really need snow depth here it would seem but just double check all measurements and relevel radiometer / precip
• any surveying to be done before next spring?
