Lo esencial

The avalanche danger has been rated low today in the Blues.  Even during periods of low danger continue to use safe travel protocols and don't become complacent.  If you observe signs of unstable snow remember where you travel in the terrain is the one thing you have control over.  

This forecast is sponsored by the Quickhatch Provisions in Joseph, OR.   

Avalanche Discussion

New snow falling on???  Thanks to the recent observations we've received from the Northern Wallowas and Elkhorns.  It's good to keep in mind the changes that have occurred to the snow surface during the high pressure we've seen this week.  On more shaded aspects we've observed surface hoar and faceting, while on sunny slopes a crust has formed.  This will affect how well the new snow bonds or reacts to the new load of snow in the next 24 hours.  You will have to dig down to determine if the new snow is bonding to the old snow surfaces.  The next step is determining if you have stronger snow (slab) overlying weaker snow.  If this is the case look for safer terrain to recreate in.
