The snowpack is very shallow and there's really not enough snow to recreate on just yet. In general, the avalanche hazard is Low. However, our thin snowpack has grown weak and sugary on upper elevation shady slopes and Monday's storm system may produce enough snow and wind to create isolated areas where you could trigger an avalanche. If you're getting out and about after the storm remember to avoid steep, wind loaded slopes, especially if they appear fat and rounded. Triggering even a small slide right now could result in a season ending injury if you slam into a rock or stump lurking beneath this shallow facade of white.
In general there's less than a foot of snow on the eastern front and the snowpack is rapidly growing weak and sugary. Click here to see Ted's trip report from last week.
