Avalanche Report
Avalanche Advisory For Thursday, April 18, 2024 - 6:40pm
Bottom Line
Thank you for a great season! Regular avalanche forecasts have ended. We will be issuing intermittent updates through May 1st. During the spring, there are typically three different avalanche problems: 1. Wet Snow: Wet loose avalanches, wet slab avalanches, and lastly glide avalanches. 2. New Snow: New storm snow instability as soft slab avalanches and loose dry avalanches. 3. Wind Drifted Snow: Wind slabs - soft or hard drifts of wind-blown snow.
Weather and Snow
Expect dry and warming weather leading into the weekend. Sunday appears to be the warmest day. Dry and warm conditions will continue through the first half of the following week, but there's a growing chance of a storm system towards the end of the week and into the weekend. A list of automated weather stations.
