Its amazing how much snow we have late season but avalanche danger will be high so keep it in mind. We don't need more avalanche death statistics. RIP Joel

Recent reports from CAIC state that we are 160%-200% above average snowpack in most areas of the Northern and Central mountains. Spring avalanches could potentially be the biggest we have seen in 30-100 years based on the amount of snowfall we received over the winter. Cornices are extremely loaded and if they break could cause some serious damage. Seriously everyone be careful out there.
