Snow is starting to accumulate in Alpine areas. Ice climbers are usually some of the first people to interact with avalanche terrain so please keep this in mind as you travel in search of early season ice.

What will the first MIN of the season be in the Land of K! MINs are an important tool for us to be able to collect early season data so please share what you are seeing/climbing!

No recent avalanches have been observed.

While there is some snow in the Alpine, the key word is some! We are still below threshold in most areas and really the only place there is snow is in the Alpine.

Gullies or ridgelines are the places where snow will slowly accumulate so keep an eye on terrain as you travel through it.

Winter is starting to arrive up high! Check the forecasts often and be aware that as snow starts to accumulate, avalanche potential will slowly begin to increase. Its also good to be thinking about large weather events that may be an issue down the road into winter. These may include rain events, or similar.
