Extreme avalanche conditions. Roads OK, when not closed for avalanche control. High wind and heavy snow forecast, so we camped in a low and protected area about half way to Grace Lakes. Nice snow camping trip. Everyone had fun and learned a lot.

This is a good, non-technical snowshoe for fit beginners. The road takes you to fine views at 4500', with a short excursion to the pretty lower lake basin. Limited avalanche exposure.
