Avalanche Forecast By Zone

The Bottom Line

Thursday 01/16/25: 

You are most likely to trigger a dry loose avalanche in the upper 1-2 feet of the snowpack on slopes steeper than 35 degrees that are shaded and have stayed protected from the winds. Most of these avalanches are not going to be big enough to bury a person yet could push someone into bad terrain like cliffs and gullies.

Use good travel protocols like 1 at a time on slopes steeper than 30 degrees.

The next Avalanche Forecast will be issued Saturday, January 18th.

 

Sunday, December 15th, a fatal avalanche accident occurred south of our forecast zone, west of Cascade. You can read the preliminary report here. Our condolences go out to those impacted by this tragedy. The PAC will publish a final accident report in the coming weeks.
