Primary Problem: Loose Wet
Bottom Line: Wet Loose avalanches are the primary avalanche concern. Plan to move off steep, sunny slopes as the day heats up and there are more than a couple inches of wet snow at the surface. Wind Slab avalanches are still possible on shady, high elevation slopes with colder, drier snow.

The Last Word

For years, the avalanche community has worked to understand and address the human factors that influence decision-making in the backcountry. With decades of research as their foundation, Sara Boilen and Ian McCammon are developing an open-source tool to help individuals mitigate risk in avalanche terrain. The project's first stage involves interviewing backcountry recreationalists who have been traveling in avalanche terrain for at least one season. All participants will be entered to win amazing raffle prizes (from Jones Snowboards, BCA, and more!). If you’re curious about being involved, please take 1-2 minutes to fill out their basic initial survey!
