Heads up... avalanche conditions begin changing later today and tonight as a good shot of snow, water, and wind materializes through Friday. This morning there's just barely enough snow to move around on and you'd really have to go out of your way to trigger a slide. As the storm starts kicking in gear, look for and avoid fresh wind drifts on the leeward side of the highest terrain as they'll react to our additional weight. And remember... even a small avalanche this time of year will reveal a myriad of season ending obstacles. So, if you're hiking, hunting, snowshoeing or out for a high elevation peak bagging circuit you'll want to look for and avoid any steep, wind drifted slope.
