Avy Danger this weekend?

[sledsurfer]

The report sounds a little sketchy for Friday in Washington with the temps rising so fast, planning to ride at Baker Sat if the danger goes down, any real reason for concern this weekend or do you guys thing it'll settle a bit?

I'd stay away from the sun warmed slopes late morning and afternoon. The sun is going to warm the snow up quite a bit on those slopes and cause extra loading.

Heard on the news the I-90 crew is preparing for avys all weekend due to the warming.

Ride Safe!!!!

Don't ask SnoWest peeps for avy advice. Pay attention to the avy forecast as they are the ONLY people that really do know what they are talking about!
