Lo esencial

The snowpack has been stable in all observations, but steep slopes over 35 degrees and any areas of wind-drifted snow should still be approached with caution. Wind loading may exist in isolated pockets, particularly near or just above treeline.

    Steady winds over the early part of this week led to areas of wind-drifted snow, which have the potential for wind slabs. No avalanche activity has been reported, but the possibility exists and should be in the back of your mind. Evaluate all terrain at or above treeline with a critical eye, particularly paying attention to any cornices built-up above areas in which you choose to recreate.

    Be wary of cornices and other hazards overlooking your recreation area.

Avalanche Discussion

Take a break from shoveling and treat yourself and the family to a fun night out. This Saturday, Dec 10 , is the MSAC Movie Night at the Mt. Shasta Community Center. We're showing the film "Buried" about the 1982 Alpine Meadows avalanche. Written, directed, and produced by Tahoe locals, the film chronicles one of the deadliest avalanches in US history, the miraculous rescue efforts, and the impact on the community of Lake Tahoe. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $15. Drinks and snacks will be available for purchase. Doors open at 5:30, film at 7. We'll see you there!
