Please remember this is not a backcountry forecast.

Conditions in the mountains around town may be a little more dangerous as you add the trigger to the avalanche ( YOU ).

If you choose to go into the backcountry please recognize you should have the ability to look at the snow by doing avalanche assesment techniques and make your own decisions.

For backcounrty travelers who are making their own decisions a LEVEL I AVALANCHE COURSE is highly recommended.

Now is a great time to remind people of the importance of avalanche education.

Please also remember:

AVALANCHE TRANSCEIVER, PROBE, SHOVEL, and PARTNER.

DONT LEAVE HOME WITHOUT THEM!
