The below is on the home page of the Mountaineers website:
"Seattle Mountain Rescue has provided us with snow data for the 2007-2008 year, and it looks like we are currently at 165% of normal. What does this mean to you? Well, it means that you may get a later start to your hiking season. But it also may mean that you are more likely to encounter avalanche situations in places you least expect it.
Before you head out, make sure to check with the local ranger station or park office to find out what the current conditions are, and if there are any avalanche dangers in the area where you are heading. Stay safe out there!"
Even as we begin our summer months the DEEP snowfall on the mountains around us STILL exists and is STILL a HIGH avalanche potential!! So please folks don't become a news bite on the evening news out there ok!?
I'm just a worried moderator...
Do note also on the home page of the Mountaineers website - The Blue Tarp Bible is now published!!!! Now that's gotta be some FUNNY reading eh?!
