It looks like winter in Turnagain, but be aware of early season hazards under a thin snowpack. Turnagain Pass received 5-8" of new snow along the road, and we're guessing a few more inches at higher elevations. This new snow has fallen on moist ground, with patches of old snow above 2500', otherwise not much of a base.
