Regions: Olympics.

Shallow amounts of new snow, cooler snow levels and easing winds will transition Hurricane Ridge away from wet snow problems on Sunday. You'll likely find a slowly refreezing upper snowpack with pockets of new thin wind slab near and above treeline. We have no direct snowpack or avalanche observations from this area. Take the time to evaluate conditions for yourself before entering avalanche terrain.

Snowpack and Avalanche Discussion

We have not had any direct snowpack observations from the Hurricane Ridge area in over 2 weeks. Keep this in mind and buffer in the extra uncertainty while making terrain selections.

Forecast schedule

For the 2018-19 winter season, avalanche hazard ratings will be issued for the Olympics Friday through Sunday and during holidays.

General snowpack and weather summaries will be available on days that the Hurricane Ridge road is closed .
