I'm not a very good passenger. One fall a friend was driving and I didn't 
feel comfortable. Rather than yelling 'Slow down!' I mentioned that wet 
leaves on the road were as treacherous as ice. The hint didn't work and we 
were soon going down the road backwards at about 70 mph before becoming 
airborne. Alfa Romeos don't do well upside down. I still have scars from 
that one. 

It hasn't snowed yet but we're in a fairly typical winter pattern, high 
30s or low 40s in the day and 20s at night. Perfect conditions to reflow 
the ice every day. The trails get icy and stay that way and the less 
traveled roads can have all sorts of surprises.

There aren't many hardwood species but Ponderosa pines loose a percentage 
of their needles in the fall. The long shed needles form a thatch that's 
good for skiing if you're not careful. Larch loose their needles 
completely but they're short enough to not be hazardous.
