Danger level 2
THE BOTTOM LINE

Due to a persistent weak layer at the base of our snowpack, the chance of a single rider triggering a large, destructive avalanche remains possible in the alpine elevations.  When selecting safe terrain in the alpine region (above 3000m) the ablility to recognize slopes which have previously avalanched is of critical importance.
