Travel and Terrain Advice
For those entering the northwest side of the mountain range, watch for new slabs. Don't forget to check for large start zones above you. The southeast side of the mountain range, where there are many ski resorts, still has little snow cover. There are many "terrain traps" in the forest, such as bushes and gullies that have not yet been completely filled. Rather than forcing yourself into the mountains, skiing within the ski area is a good option since the season has only just begun.
