Snowpack and Avalanche Discussion

All Regions

With snow this weekend, AVALANCHE SEASON HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN. 

It's tremendous fun to get out in the early season snow regardless of the sport. Please remember that avalanches can happen on any snow covered slope. Hunters are especially vulnerable because they don't carry avalanche gear and are often alone.

Be safe out there and let us know what you see. 


NEW for 2025-2026

We have an entirely new set of forecast pages that will launch on Tuesday, October 7th using the forecast platform developed by the National Avalanche Center.
