Early season conditions update #1

A thin layer of new snow has been laid down across the forecast area. In general, this new snow on bare ground poses little avalanche risk. The limited exception is in near and above treeline areas where wind drifted snow has deposited and formed small wind slabs.

General Spring Avalanche Statement

We have closed shop for the 2018-2019 operating season after producing 145 avalanche forecasts. A big thanks to all who supported the avalanche center this season, making everything possible. Avalanche activity will invariably continue to occur this spring. Continued daily wet snow melt-freeze cycles will occur and additional storm cycles may impact the forecast area.  Some information and resources to aid in trip planning and decision making have been assembled on the advisory page.
