Developed avalanche paths are still the exception rather than the rule, but skiers and climbers will likely be drawn to these developed snowfields. Early season conditions still exist in the alpine and are even more pronounced at lower elevations. Areas with a more developed snowpack, like the south side of Tuckerman Ravine, have shown the ability to avalanche already with natural activity observed earlier this month as well as in October. The adage, “If there’s enough snow to ride, there’s enough snow to slide” is certainly true and should motivate you to make careful snowpack assessments this weekend.
