Avalanche Forecast for 02/21/2025
- AVALANCHE FORECAST: A small Wet Loose avalanche, a cornice falling, or the weight of a person could trigger a dangerous avalanche breaking deep within the snowpack. Choosing low-consequence terrain with low slope angles, avoiding slopes with hazards overhead, and maintaining wide safety margins are the best strategies for managing the avalanche problems.
