GNFAC Avalanche Forecast for Thu Mar 22, 2012
WET SNOW AVALANCHE DANGER
The slide that occurred on the Football Field sent debris soaring over these large cliffs. It's important to remember what's below you when skiing on the Football Field and surrounding terrain. Photo GNFAC
The slide that occurred on the Football Field just outside of the ski area boundary took out the entire seasons snowpack. The slide also took out countless ski tracks that have been put down throughout the winter. This is a great reminder that sidecountry is backcountry, and even slopes just outside the ski area boundary are prone to avalanches. Photo GNFAC
