The safety information and forecasts on this website are provided in partnership with the US Forest Service, and are intended for personal and recreational purposes only. Safe backcountry travel requires preparation and planning, and this information may be used for planning purposes but does not provide all the information necessary for backcountry travel. Advanced avalanche education is strongly encouraged.

The user acknowledges that it is impossible to accurately predict natural events such as avalanches in every instance, and the accuracy or reliability of the data provided here is not guaranteed in any way. The forecasts describe general mountain weather and avalanche conditions. Local variations will always occur.
