Avalanche risk for Jan 23, 2019: Considerable

Dangerous avalanche conditions. Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route-finding and conservative decision-making essential. Natural avalanches possible; human-triggered avalanches likely.

Avy tweets from @AvalancheGuys

“Mellow off angle face that's wide open. Also a small trail that runs down the ridge on skiers left.”

Description

This one is very straightforward: ski down, then over, then down, then over. Follow the open area back to the skin track, then reverse the approach the whole way back to the car.
