Carry Peeps, Probes and Shovels at ALL times if you are heading out into the backcountry. Please pack out everything you take in.

IMPORTANT!!! Avalanche conditions for the Northern Rockies area can be found at CanadianAvalancheCenter and it is strongly suggested that you visit the site. There is ALWAYS a high risk of AVALANCHES in the mountains.
