Avalanche Summary
Expect a rise in avalanche danger as new snow and west-to-southwest winds build thicker slabs on leeward slopes at higher elevations. Use caution if you find more than a foot of new or drifted snow in steeper terrain. Even a small avalanche can be dangerous if it sweeps you down into hazards below.
Researchers Ian McCammon and Sara Boilen are developing new tools for managing human factors for backcountry skiers and boarders. This survey asks about personal experiences with human factors and will take 7 - 8 minutes to fill out. Link is HERE. Thank you for your help!
