It’s snowing, and this is no April fools joke! The upper part of the mountain and the backside are feeling soft and fun, especially with that light layer of new stuff. The lower majority of the frontside is a bit more firm and has a sticky layer on top.

This DOES NOT mean that you may enter the basin. Consequences will be enforced for those who choose not to follow these rules!
