The link below will take you to an experimental GIS-based map application for viewing avalanche danger forecasts for the Washington Cascades, Olympics and northern Oregon Cascades (Mt Hood area) issued by the NWAC. Please remember that the danger rose information is based on regional scale avalanche danger forecasts, and should not be used for slope-specific danger determinations.

Use care and common sense when viewing and applying snow stability information on this GIS display. These forecasts are intended to provide both history and overall trends in snow pack stability.

Remember that the snow pack is highly variable, very dynamic, and snow structure and related stability can and do change within a few feet and often within a few hours, sometimes dramatically.

Remember, YOU are responsible for using and applying any information found here. Choice not Chance causes most avalanche accidents.
