Avalanche on the Throne

This is an area that I have snowboarded on in the past. I always dig a pit and check conditions. It is a 5-6 mile snowmobile ride in and then a hike up for snowboarding. Many different faces and possibilities in this area.


This year is going to be a sketchy year in the backcountry with the cold early season temps and the facets buried deep in the snowpack. We saw the same conditions back in December in Wyoming and northern Colorado. Watch yourself out there, take the time to dig a pit and check the snowpack.

Later.
