Welcome to the start of the 2024-2025 winter season!
High-elevation, shady aspects with lingering old snow present the highest avalanche risk. Any new snow may not bond well to slick crusts or weak, sugary faceted layers, potentially creating sensitive slabs, particularly in steep, wind-drifted terrain. Practice safe travel techniques: travel with a partner and carry essential rescue gear, including a transceiver, probe, and shovel.
Remember the saying: If there’s enough snow to ski or ride, there’s enough snow to slide.
Although burial risk is generally low, the primary danger lies in being swept through consequential terrain. It’s early in the season with limited options for skiing and riding, so please exercise caution.
