Still pretty slushy and full of ice on the shaded parts. The hill climb is just pure ice with a little trail sticking through. If you try to head down towards ore mine you’ll need heavy clearance it gets pretty rutted with a lot of loose large rocks. Other than that just a few occasional deep mud ruts that you don’t expect.

Still has snow/slush on the hill climb and higher points. Lots of soft muddy spots. There is a small deep soft spot that comes out of no place. Be careful.
