I was talking with Jonathan Morgan (Alta Avalanche Office) on the phone last night and we were trying to remember a year as complicated as this year with all the variability across the terrain. I mean, think about it. Normally, it's pretty simple and we have just one weak layer in the snowpack on a couple of aspects. Not this year. We have multiple weak layers all over the place on many different aspects and elevations. Oh, and don't forget the slopes that already avalanched. We have multiple avalanche problems outside of persistent weak layers, all with issues where they can break on various layers. I've been in the SLC office since 2015, and I can't remember a time that was this complicated. The last year I can think of where it was this bad was the winter of 2004/2005, when we had a really bad snowpack, and we saw eight fatalities that season. We've had four people tragically die already this year. Please do not try to outsmart the snowpack. Please keep it simple and avoid steep terrain.
