Central Cascades

Avalanches will be unlikely on Wednesday.  No major change in the weather, means no change in the avalanche hazard.  Warmer temperatures in the forecast may allow sunny slopes to soften a bit, but I doubt it will be warm enough to produce Wet Loose avalanches.  It is always prudent to use safe travel techniques when riding in avalanche terrain, as isolated pockets of instability can exist on Low danger days.

A serious lack of new snow, and a relatively cool temperature regime have meant that we haven't seen any avalanche activity.  Daytime high temperatures will increase into Wednesday and Thursday.  I'm hopeful that this warming will lead to some eventual softening of our sunnier slopes.  Snow surfaces have been variable the last few days.  The cold, sunny weather has allowed for some beautiful high country riding, if not the soft powder we would all prefer.
