We are experiencing technical difficulties with our website forcing the late bulletin today. Hopefully we will have the problem straightened out by the morning.

TUCKERMAN RAVINE AND HUNTINGTON RAVINE HAVE LOW AVALANCHE DANGER. Natural avalanches are very unlikely and human triggered avalanches are unlikely except in isolated pockets on steep snow covered open slopes and gullies. Normal caution is advised.

Snow showers are forecasted for tonight and expected to change to rain during the early morning hours. We'll cross our fingers for snow. Watch for an increasing avalanche danger if these showers bring in enough new snow followed by rain. Pay attention to changing conditions and be ready to change your plans for the weekend.

THE LION'S HEAD WINTER ROUTE IS OPEN. Please stay on route to minimize climber impacts to the area. This is critical to keeping the trail open and protecting the resource. Consider it good practice to move slow and thoughtfully with crampons on rock. This is a difficult steep route so crampons, ice axe, and mountaineering skills are an absolute necessity.

The John Sherburne ski trail has variable conditions.

 
PLEASE REMEMBER:
 
• Any new precipitation may increase the avalanche danger, this includes wind transported snow.
 
• Obtain latest weather forecast before starting out.
 
• For more information, contact the U.S. Forest Service Snow Rangers: AMC at Pinkham Notch Visitor Center or Hermit Lake Shelters.
 
• This bulletin expires today at midnight and the next avalanche bulletin will be issued tomorrow.
