Long Range Mountains

Low hazard doesn't mean no hazard.

Watch for isolated pockets of wind slab and be alert to open creek crossings, holes, and slippery surfaces.

A natural avalanche cycle occurred early last week after the rain event. No recent avalanche activity has been observed.

Watch for other hazards like creek crossings, holes, and slippery surfaces.

Up to 10 cm of new snow arrives on Sunday. This new snow is falling on bare ground in many areas, or up to 40 cm of soft slab in north and northeast-facing bowls and gullies. Below this is a firm crust.

Significant melt has occurred over the past month and many areas are below the threshold for avalanches.
