No avalanche problems at the moment (maybe a few old wind slabs could be found above 10k ft)

Drove from the Soapstone TH over Soapstone Pass to Wolf Creek and out Duschene Ridge. Shouldn't be driving that route in a truck right now - not much snow. Great conditions for everyone who has gotten a Christmas tree recently.
