| Comments: |
Gave the snowmaking and ski operations a wide berth and jogged up access roads to the east. Lower elevation ground was not frozen, but generally dry with occasional minor mud. Fairly consistently frozen above perhaps 3,000 feet. Minor ice and a slight dusting of snow.
I encountered no issues by avoiding the active operations, but as the World Cup races and expanded snowmaking approach, I suspect access may be limited on this side. |
