Tuesday starts off with generally safe avalanche conditions. Avalanche danger will increases during the day as winds drift snow into slabs on upper elevation slopes. Be cognizant of these changing conditions and avoid steep, drifted terrain where you observe shooting cracks in the snow or the newly drifted slab feels hard or hollow underneath.
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!
