Fall storms are starting to impact the forecast area with rain and high elevation snow returning to the Sierra. The operational portion of the avalanche center has yet to brush off the dust accumulated during the summer hiatus. As mid/late October approaches, work will resume to get the operational program ready to issue regular avalanche advisories once conditions warrant.
The non-profit fundraising portion of the avalanche center has been hard at work organizing fall events. Take a look at the SAC calendar for upcoming events to fuel your excitement.
