Early Season Snowpacks

[Depsnolvr]

Lots of new snow out there and pics of people already scratching that itch. If you follow the Mountain Information Network at Avalanche Canada, you may also know that there has already been at least one close call with some large avalanches.

I wrote this little writeup for MTN Sledder. Have a read if you like. We need to start paying attention now.

Even though its early season, there is enough snow out there to cause some harm.


Ride safe.

Thanks for the read Curtis, I always enjoy the amount of detail you go into in order to explain the different snow conditions.

Great write up Curtis.
Let’s hope for a better year.

Best to just remember if there is snow, it can slide. I already know of one fatality this year near Bozeman. Yes she was a skier, but avalanches don’t discriminate based on what your doing out there. Just because it’s early, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have your head switched on.
