    How's the coverage down the fire break?

    Hi there,

    Drove by on the weekend and pondered a quick lap on the fire break. Coverage looked thin on the lower portion, but tracks were certainly visible. Kept driving a bit further south...

    Vermillion did not suck. There isn't enough snow to cover the punchy trees on the uptrack/burnt trees, but lines were certainly doable elsewhere. Just stay out of the gut of the slide path as it was definitely down to a nasty basal layer and filled with debris at the choke point ~500m above the road.

    Play safe!
