About this episode
Welcome to Episode 8! Things are trending positively right now for our persistent weak layer, but we aren’t out of the woods yet. It’s going to be one of those tempting weekends where you’ll likely see some bold tracks in big avalanche paths. Heading into this weekend, remember our discussion from last week about getting lucky vs. making good decisions. With our current snowpack, tracks aren’t necessarily indicating stability.
In Part 2, local backcountry skier, former Navy SEAL, and man of many talents, Trevor Thompson, joins the Snowcast to chat about risk, group dynamics and fitness. Trevor’s approach to backcountry touring is intentional and grounded in years of experience.
Finally, we wrap up today’s episode with our extended forecast for the Wasatch. We are back into high pressure and on a slow warming trend until the middle of next week before another storm is on deck for Friday.
