Avalanche safety begins with a good understanding of past weather, from the very beginning of the “winter” season when the first snow stays put in the mountains.

This is why we have created a record of daily historical weather data from the start of the winter season so you can make informed choices about mountain conditions.

Read about recent mountain conditions including snow and avalanche conditions, recent incidents or past avalanche activity. The information provided here consists of field observations in specific mountain areas from experienced backcountry riders who have recently traveled in these areas.
