Introduction: Good

EQUIPMENT HERE. To see past advisories check out the ARCHIVE. To see current conditions go to our WEATHER PAGE. To see photos go to the AVIPHOTOS page. Please give us your observations from
the field HERE. The more observations we get, the better
this forecast can be. We’ve re-scheduled our Level I
American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education Course for March 2-4
here in |
General Conditions: Continued stormy weather through the
day yesterday has kept the sun at bay and conditions are still dry powder out
here in the La Sal Mountains. There is some excellent skiing and riding out
there at the moment. We’ve seen some stuck snow machines and hard
walking conditions with the deep snow that has accumulated so far. Expect
this pattern to continue with only a slight break in the action today. The road to the Geyser Pass Trailhead
will be snowy and 4wd is recommended today. GC roads should get up there
sometime today. Grooming was done yesterday up and
