Lo esencial

There is good skiing to be found at higher elevations in the Cameron Valley! Up to 40cm of snow now overlies the Christmas Crust Complex. Use caution near valley bottom where buried hazards still exist.

The coming warm temps and extreme wind may quickly build new windslab. Use careful evaluation when choosing your line.
