Temperatures yesterday were slighlty cooler than the day before yet have remained above freezing at the Mt Roberts Tram Summit Elevation for over 48 hours once again.

The diurnal fluctuation today is expected to bring warm temperatures to our mountain regions once again.

In general avalanche danger is low.

The difficulty remains in assesing the danger in the glide cracks opening up on the face of Mt Juneau. Glide avalanches are quite difficult to predict. With above freezing temps these cracks continue to expand as the lower snowpack pulls away from the field above. New cracks are forming on the perimeter of the original ones and the questionability of stability is increasing.

Please once again avoid walking in the open meadow above the Behrands/ Highland Neighborhood.

Here is a little information on an avalanche accident that occured in Colorado recently.

The more you read about these events the more you see the pattern forming. The trick is to recognize this pattern and avoid making mistakes.
