In sintesi

In the wind zone, at and above treeline, you'll find pockets of MODERATE avalanche danger. Human triggered avalanches are possible, especially on steep, wind drifted slopes facing the north half of the compass. Remember... even a small avalanche can easily result in a season ending, traumatic injury.

LOW avalanche danger is found on low angle, wind sheltered terrain.

    Ted was out on Mirror Lake Highway yesterday and captured the image above illustrating strong ridgetop winds drifting snow on leeward slopes. While recent winds coupled with very warm temperatures have worked the surface snow and essentially welded it in place, there may be a stiff drift or two that'll react to our additional weight. For today, you'll want to continue looking for and avoiding any fat, rounded piece of snow, especially if it sounds hollow like a drum.

Recent Activity

No new avalanche activity to report, but there's just enough snow to ride and of course, enough snow to slide. And remember- even a small avalanche this time of year will instantly end your season if you slam into a rock, or stump, or get raked through deadfall. But that doesn't mean you can't ride, you just need to tone it down a few notches. As a matter of fact, you can still have a blast on lower angle terrain.
