Observations

I rode snowmobiles with 7 other riders up the Silver Creek trail staying in the low to mid elevations. There was no cracking or colapsing, as well as no observed avalanches. Snow depth at lower elevations was rather low presenting hazards such as exposed rocks and stumps. I do not recommend playing aggressively off trail until you reach higher elevations where the snow is deeper.
