new to the area (seattle) moved from mammoth. looking to do a little more skiing this year but unsure about everything (snowpack, conditions, routes, best time to ski things around here) did lots of backcountry in the sierras. so looking for some advice about where to start. dont have a job yet so lots of time. if someone could recommend what is still holding snow and the conditions or possibly a good guide book for the area it would be much appreciated. thanks
