Just a reminder, after reading the reports from SAIS and their blogs, that conditions are ideal for some large slides. In fact several significant avalanches have been reported over previous days.

Take some time to look through the SAIS site and the forecasters Blogs before you head out. Even if they don't cover your own area they can give a good indication of what to expect.
