Social Spotlight, Be Backcountry Aware!
As we mentioned earlier in the season being snow smart doesn’t always just apply to Town boundaries. The recent wild weather plus the warming trend in the forecast for the next few days means that backcountry travel should be planned carefully. Recent observations from Eastern Sierra Avalanche Center have shown that avalanche activity and free-moving water in the snowpack indicate that the stability picture has changed significantly. ESAC recommends that if you decide to venture outside, you should create travel plans that account for high levels of uncertainty and allow for large safety margins. If your plans take you to an area that looks overcrowded with little to no parking options, please do not create your own parking spot. Re-evaluate and consider another location. Please follow Eastern Sierra Avalanche Center [https://www.esavalanche.org/] for the latest observations and forecasts.
