AvCan forecaster, Lynnea Baker, joins us to talk about why the Mountain Information Network (MIN) is an essential part of making our public avalanche forecasts. We'll talk about how to make a MIN, what we really want to know from you, and why the MIN is for absolutely everyone who travels in the backcountry.

We're about to see a significant increase in both the temperature and the avalanche danger. Forecaster Tyson Rettie joins us to provide updates about what to expect from the warming and how it will impact the avalanche conditions in the coming days.

We still have a Special Public Avalanche Warning in place for some regions, we're expecting high avalanche danger in others, and that touchy persistent slab problem is persisting too. AvCan forecaster, Tyson Rettie, joins us to unpack what the weekend has in store and how we can manage what the mountains have in store for us.

We have a Special Public Avalanche Warning in place for almost all of our forecast regions until end of day, Mar 4 2024.
