Avalanche risk for Jan 21, 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 @CAICfrontrange

“An ultra-fun chute that tends to hold great snow even if the surrounding area is wind-scoured and crappy.”

Description

The skier's left line of "Y Chute" is a fairly steep, quick shot that is super-lappable. Take care, as the entrance is a bit convex and the line has a potential to slide.
