Avalanche Forecast - CAIC zone

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

<p>Most slopes are safe from avalanches. Even a small pocket of unstable snow can be enough to knock you off your feet and take you for a ride. Watch for drifted areas on protected high alpine slopes or the snow surface becoming wet and unconsolidated. If you observer these things avoid very steep slopes especially in high consequence terrain.</p><p>With each warming period over the last month we have seen an uptick in avalanche activity and this weekend looks to be another one of those periods. Avalanches are expected to be isolated but remember LOW (1 of 5) danger does not mean no danger. </p>
