With these great conditions comes great responsibility. These daily powder refreshers has made for powder filled groomed runs, but the deep stashes off-piste are enticing. We urge all who venture off the groom to avoid tree wells and understand the suffocation hazard of deep snow immersion. Heading into the trees? Then do so only with a buddy and keep an eye on each other. Take turns watching each other. With such deep snow carrying a probe, beacon and shovel is advisable - and may be required to go into our expert gated access terrain.
