    CAIC?

    Is the CAIC finished with avalanche forecasting for the year? Their website still shows Sunday's discussion and their hotline this morning was an update from sometime yesterday.. anybody know what the deal is?

    If you were a supporter of the CAIC you'd already know that the daily forecasting is done.

    Sorry Lone Star, but yes the CAIC is finished for the season. It is not because we ran out of money. At this time of the season the ski areas close down and our field observers start heading for Mexico... So, we don't have much in the way of field data to be doing accurate forecasts. But, if we see something big coming Colorado's way, we will issue a forecast, etc.... Meanwhile, be careful out there and follow the standard smart travel protocols. Climb early, ski early and avoid the wet slides. Also keep in mind that we have had (in the Frontrange and Gore range) some deep slab avalanches.

    Hey Hacksaw,
    Why don't you just post us a special custom report each morning from now until, oh... how about the second week of June?
