Though the solid base from a Dec melt has suppressed most exposed rocks and dirt at lower elevations (some is still present) early season natural hazards exist on most trails north of and definitely including Packers. These include bumps and uneven surfaces, exposed brush and possible ice; there is also the possiblility of downed trees from high winds over the last few days. More shovelling and snowcat passes left Packers in better shape but it is still rough in few places and as it needs the most snow to eliminate hazards it deserves special mention for the quantity and severity of early season hazards. Late December snow at higher elevations eliminated most hazards south of Packers, though a few still exist such as possible exposed rock at the top of Bluberry and the diminishing but not yet flat HRT rollers on the top section of Elk Pass.
