Avalanche Forecast - CAIC zone

  • Alpine: Moderate
  • Treeline: Moderate
  • Below Treeline: Low

<p>Identify and avoid wind-drifted snow in steep, consequential terrain where even a small avalanche can be dangerous. Watch for cracking in the new snow or a stiff, hollow feeling to the snow as you travel across it as signs of recently wind-drifted snow. </p><p>Expect to trigger small loose avalanches in wet snow as the sun starts melting the new snow on sunny slopes. These will be small, but can still be dangerous if they knock you off your feet and drag you down a slope.</p>
