Yesterday’s snow, rain and wind did little to increase the avalanche hazard. Be on the lookout for small loose avalanches on steep slopes and give cornices a wide berth. If you or your machine are sinking more than a few inches into wet snow, steer clear of slopes steep enough to slide. Even though it’s low danger today, using safe travel techniques, carrying the necessary safety equipment, making a clear plan (with multiple options), and considering the consequences of even small slides are all great ways to keep the good times rolling.
