Avalanche Forecast By Zone
News
Wet loose avalanches on Solar aspects will be possible to be triggered by riding or sliding on slopes steeper than 30 degrees as the Sun and temps heat the snowpack. Use caution on slopes getting heated by the Sun and move to a cooler aspect if you are seeing signs like natural avalanches or rollerballs.
Triggering deeper buried persistent weak layers is becoming less likely but it is still possible to trigger a 1-2′ persistent slab on wind and sun-sheltered aspects.
Use good travel protocols on slopes steeper than 30 degrees like watching from a safe spot and only exposing one person at a time to slopes steeper than 30 degrees.
