We are looking forward to a bluebird day after yesterday’s much needed snow. Ruthie’s Run is freshly groomed this morning. Hang tight on other trails, more info coming soon.
We strongly urge everyone to check the Avalanche Report today and be vigilant if you are going anywhere outside today. The situation is setting up to be dangerous on even small slopes and roadcuts given our weak snow on the ground everywhere. https://cbavalanchecenter.org/forecasts/#/all
THE BOTTOM LINE – FROM CBAC
A Special Avalanche Bulletin is in place for the mountains surrounding Crested Butte. Significant snowfall is overloading a weak snowpack and avalanches are likely. Terrain from Kebler Pass through Paradise Divide through Schofield Pass is the most hazardous area as these locations received the most snowfall. Expect that you can easily trigger avalanches that are large enough to bury you. Continued snowfall on Saturday will increase the avalanche hazard throughout the day. The terrain in the Southeast Mountains that border the Northwest Mountains are included in this Special Avalanche Bulletin.
