Travel and Terrain Advice
Pay attention to the intensity of snowfall during the day. There are Melt-Freeze crusts under the fresh snow that can easily become bed surfaces. The tree line is not yet fully covered with snow. The gully is not filled, and there are numerous bushes on slopes that would be comfortable in a normal season. As a result, route setting is difficult and requires experience.
