With very little new snow in the last week and not much new predicted in the forecast today avalanche danger is moderate at this time.

This new snow up high will be accompanied by loading winds that will start to change the danger levels a bit if much snow accumulates in windloaded areas.

Tip:

There are new avalanche tranceivers available.

The new models have 3 antennas and are very quick for locating buried victims.

Think about selling your beacom during the off season and starting next year with new technology.

Remember even if your unit appears to be functioning properly range can diminish over time with these units.
