Very heavy snow pack, encountered 8 trees with average size of 18-24 inches. We are now at the first avalanche zone. We are expecting to plow through this first zone early in the morning. If the temps go up considerably, crews may be forced to come back West of the zone until the temps drop or the slope stabilizes.
