We haven't heard of or seen any significant avalanche activity for a week and of course, that's good news. But here's where it gets a little tricky. As the pack gets stronger it lures us into steep terrain, often without incident, giving us a false sense of snowpack stability. However, all we need to do is find one weakness, maybe around a bush or rock that we can't see buried underneath the snow, collapse the pack, and now we're staring down the barrel of a scary avalanche. The way I'm avoiding this scenario is by simply avoiding the terrain where this setup exists.... mid and upper elevation, north facing slopes that harbored snow prior to the big Thanksgiving storm. So there's no reason to pull on the avalanche dragons tail.
But wait.... here's the good news. There's a lot of terrain to ride today and not have to deal with unmanageable avalanche conditions, IF you chose slopes that had NO old snow prior to the big Thanksgiving storm. So here's your exit strategy, simply swing around to the south half of the compass, ride in the sun and you can have a blast!

The last significant human triggered avalanche occurred a week ago on Yamaha Hill, seen in the image above. While not nearly as sensitive or widespread as a week ago, this is still the type of terrain where you could still trigger an avalanche that breaks to old, weak snow near the ground.
