Friday, February 18, 2022
Isolated areas of unstable new and wind drifted snow exist and the avalanche danger is MODERATE today on steep slopes at mid and upper elevations. Look for unstable, fresh wind drifts on the leeward sides of terrain features such as ridge crests, sub ridges, and gully walls. Dry, loose snow avalanches will be possible on steep, northerly facing slopes where 8" or more of fresh, low density snow is sitting on top of weak, sugary, old snow.
It's also still very low tide out there. Beware of rocks, stumps, and deadfall lurking beneath the surface.
