Crested Butte Avalanche Report

The CB Avalanche Center is closed for the 07/08 season

Alan, Steve, Billy, Jayson, Mike and the Board want to thank everyone for their support this season. We had records amounts of snow and no major accidents or avalanche occurrences. We hope everyone has a healthy happy summer. Look for the CBAC to reopen in November 08'.

Weather Synopsis

CLOSED FOR THE SEASON. There is still a lot of snow in the backcountry and we can expect spring storms to continue to bring winter weather to our mountains.

In the Backcountry

Look for signs of instabilities while traveling through the backcountry. Watch for changes in the snowpack at different elevations and aspects. Give the mountains the respect it deserves.

Remember to always carry the proper avalanche rescue equipment such as a beacon, probe and shovel. Springtime is a good time to lighten your pack but always bring esentials like your first-aid kit and extra food and water. Be smart and have fun this spring.
