Comments
Great start to the season and the snowpack has good structure.... it's not a big pile of sugar. Unfortunately, coverage still remain pretty limited to upper elevation terrain.
Just 'cause you can see it from the car doesn't mean it's safe or you're good to go. With all that's going on overburdening our health care workers, let's collectively think about our decisions and the consequences that may have on others.
