Avalanche forecast · Central Sierra Nevada
No Forecast· by Steve Reynaud
Watch for signs of unstable snow such as recent avalanches, cracking in the snow, and audible collapsing. Avoid traveling on or under similar slopes.
Bottom Line
Limited snow coverage exists throughout the forecast region with many obstacles present and increased consequences for any over the snow recreation. Avalanche concerns are limited to isolated areas where a slab of stronger snow may exist over weaker snow. If you see any signs of instabilities (recent avalanches, snow surface cracking, whumpfing, or blowing snow) move away from avalanche terrain to slopes under 30 degrees.
