Forecast for the Abajos Area Mountains

Due to the early season melt-off and over all lack of snow we have discontinued advisories for the season. Areas with enough snow to avalanche are increasingly difficult to access, but unseasonably warm temperatures and a lack of overnight refreezes mean that wet avalanches remain possible on slopes that have enough snow. Signs of instability include, rollerballs, loose-wet sluffs, and punchy, wet, or unsupportable snow. Stay off of steep slopes where these signs are present.
