12.14.2022 . HEADS UP - The recent avalanche activity we have been seeing on the northern end of the compass at the mid and lower-elevation bands is a huge red flag. These elevation bands are especially dangerous right now, and slopes can be triggered remotely, or from below. There is enough snow above summer hiking trails where people could easily get caught and buried in terrain traps. Give extra caution to the mid and lower elevation bands today. . . The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE on all upper elevation aspects and mid and lower-elevation aspects facing northwest through east aspects where natural and human-triggered avalanches may break 1-4' deep and 200' wide, failing on a persistent weak layer of faceted snow. The avalanche danger is MODERATE on west-south-southeast aspects. The north-facing slopes that are harboring old weak faceted snow surfaces are not to be messed with. . . There is a preliminary report available for the avalanche accident in Pink Pine on our website.
