We received 1-2\" of new snow in the last 24 hours while temperatures rose by several degrees. While Eaglecrest showed winds from 10-25mph at times winds at the tram and along the channel remained light to moderate with only some gusting up to the 20mph mark.

The Forecast is not calling for much new snow today but it didnt call for any yesterday! 😉

Look to see some small tender pockets of snow near summit and ridgeline in windloaded areas. Although there is very little chance of natural avalanches, human triggered avalanches remain possible in these areas.

As we receive additional snow today and more tonight danger levels will rise slightly. While now those human triggered avalanches are only slightly possible as we receive more new snow they will become more probable.

There will be a one day FREE avalanche awareness class with companion rescue training held at Eaglecrest on Sunday January 20th from 9-4pm.

This class will teach you to identify avalanche terrain, how to do weather assesments and read what that may do to avalanche stability. We will discuss snowpack layering and its relation to stability. You will learn about safe travel practices in avalanche terrain. How to dig snowpits and make stability assesments for yourself. How to use your avalanche rescue gear, and perform companion rescue.

We look forward to having you involved
