Avalanche Summary
Most slopes remain generally safe. During times of LOW (1 of 5) avalanche danger, people often venture into larger terrain. Remember, even with "Generally Safe Conditions," an avalanche can be triggered on isolated slopes and in extreme terrain. It's always a good idea to assess the slope you plan to ride and identify any hazards.
On March 7th, a backcountry skier was caught and killed in an avalanche near Vail Pass. The avalanche released on a northeast-facing slope near treeline, about 2-3 feet deep. Our deepest condolences to the deceased skier's family, friends, and community. You can read the preliminary accident report here.
