I'm back in the office and in the field for the 2020-2021 winter season. For the time being, I'll be monitoring conditions and posting periodic reports. I'll begin daily detailed avalanche forecasts when there is enough snow to ride which also means there will be enough snow to slide!

The first significant storm of the season brought 6" - 12" of snow to the mountains. The intrepid Dustin Randall from ROAM Industry made it up to North Creek Pass on Sunday and reported up to 15" of snow. Cold and mostly dry conditions are in store this week with the next chance for snow coming over the weekend. This system looks like it may not drop far enough south for us, but I'll keep you posted.
