“With snow totals far above the seasonal average “With snow totals far above the seasonal average in many areas throughout the region, it is looking like it will be a great and long-lasting spring. Until then consider sticking to less consequential terrain choices and practice patience until these weak layers heal and springtime eventually arrives.” Quote from the @coavalancheinfo forecast discussion today. #goodadvice #staysafe @friendsofcaic ❄️❄️❄️ #backcountryskiing #knowbeforeyougo #skitouring ⛷️
Patience is required. The calendar says spring but Patience is required. The calendar says spring but stability says otherwise. ❄️❄️❄️ (photo: @aspenchristy Ashcroft 2017) Conditions will shape up soon enough. It’s going to be a long spring season- good things come to those who wait. ⛷️🏔️💯😀 #backcountryskiing #secondseason #skitouring #lettheoutsidein @stio @kaestleski #forskiers
