Huntington Ravine has LOW avalanche danger. Natural avalanches are very unlikely and human triggered avalanches are unlikely except in isolated pockets. Normal caution is advised.

Mild temperatures have lingered on Mount Washington and are providing a little consolation for our lack of snowfall. It seems that the storm pounding the mid-Atlantic states is moving out to sea well to our south and occasional flurries are the most we can hope for in the upcoming days. Current summit temperatures are -7C (19 F) with light winds out of the NNE. The good news is that these conditions are helping the different layers of our snowpack consolidate. The areas posted at Moderate today still have lingering instabilities but are moving towards the next lower rating. If venturing into these slopes and gullies be alert for areas that exhibit hollow sounds or have a dense windslab over less dense layers below. Remember to practice safe travel rules such as not traveling above someone else and moving one at a time. Get out and enjoy the mild temps but don't let your guard down!

The John Sherburne ski trail has variable conditions. Expect areas of water ice, emerging rocks and abrupt water bars. Be prepared for sudden changes in the trail.

THE LION HEAD WINTER ROUTE IS OPEN. This is a steep and challenging route. Ice axe, crampons, and the skill to use them well are necessary for safe travel. Remember, it is always easier to go up than come down.

AS ALWAYS, THIS ADVISORY IS ONE MORE TOOL TO HELP YOU MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS IN AVALANCHE TERRAIN. It should be used along with your own snow stability assessments, knowledge of safe travel techniques, skill in reading mountain weather's effect on the snowpack, and avalanche rescue.
