The avalanche danger rating is estimated to be LOW today. Avalanche conditions are relatively safe. Watch for unstable snow on steep slopes in rocky terrain and in steep couloirs.
After Wednesday's all day course on June Mountain, the volunteer observer program is off to a great start. Many different types of snowpit tests were done from the shovel tilt, compression test, the ECT and the Rutschblock test. Observation guidelines for collecting snow, weather and avalanche observations were all covered in a clear and concise format thanks to the excellent teaching by Howie Schwartz of Sierra Mountain Guides. Now all we need is more snow!
