Avalanche Information

[Qreiff]

This is a clip I copy and pasted from the CAIC. Good info......layer information may follow us all.............ALL season.


Highlights
Wednesday's weather will not hurt the snowpack, but the snowpack structure remains weak. Upper layers are consolidating and gaining strength. That would be good, but the underlying weak layers are not strengthening. That means avalanches are getting a little harder to trigger, but triggering large, dangerous avalanches remains likely on many slopes. These avalanches can be triggered remotely from low angle terrain well below starting zones. You may not get any warning, like cracks or collapses, before the slabs rip out and come crashing down. The next storm arrives on Thursday when avalanche danger will start to rise.

Be careful this upcoming weekend. Looks like freshies will be served. Respect the Mountain. (Pardon the .......just trying to help)

Hey man, nothing wrong with a friendly reminder!!
Thanks!!

With the current snowpack, friendly or not, we need the reminder. Here's a not so freindly reminder.

Don't be a dumbazz like so many others have been that were caught on video being dumbazz's. We don't need any more deaths after the last 2 weeks.

Another friendly reminder to all sledder and backcountry users!

Another recent clip of the snow pack. This is in Utah but don't be fooled. Colorado, Utah and Wyoming are all in a very similar boat this winter with Avy conditions.

Ride aware. Ride safe.

I am passed the point of feeling bad for people being caught in crap this year

I am now angry. There's way to many signs that the trigger is pulling just by looking at the snow wrong.

I'll be staying in the trees for the rest of the season most likely

However a buddy of mine jerked some stuff down to the ground at Corona pass in hopes that it can atleast be snowboarded before it all melts a month and a half from now

Met an absolute nut a few weeks back on Vail pass. He was causing slides just for fun and getting out from under them..... Former marine with a death wish I think. I saw him set off 6 different slides before I decided I wasn't going to be the one to dig him out of a slide, and left.

Sad I think.
