Yesterday's remotely triggered avalanche clearly demonstrates that the snowpack remains unstable. If we are still triggering avalanches from a distance 5 days after the last storm, we have problems. Do not let your guard down. We continue to hear about close calls from many of our regions. The buried Persistent Weak Layer is still very active. Someone's luck is bound to runout, don't let it be you. Continue to avoid the steep upper elevation northwest, north, northeast, and east facing terrain. Avoid being directly below steep slopes since we can still trigger avalanches from a distance below.
