Black Ice

Just a quick mention - Black Ice.
As storms pass - and melt, up here in the snow, many members are (should be?) making plans for adventure - winter mountain shenanigans. Should be/ all signs point to - a good snow season.
For those coming up from lower and dryer climes, be advised that even with 4 Wheel drive, driving in the snow/ice is a learned art - takes some time to master. Shady areas locally in Mammoth now hold unseen dangers - black ice, slick as snot -
Saw two tourist "incidents" just yesterday.
Drive safe!
