雪崩 Hazards #knowbeforeyougo
The San Juan Mountains are noted for their often unstable snow conditions which, when combined with their steep slopes, makes for extremely hazardous avalanche areas. 雪崩s may occur on almost any slope if loaded with snow, so no terrain is completely risk free. Even small hillocks or roadside grades can pose as much of a hazard to the hiker or skier as the larger, more easily recognized avalanche chutes. 因此, if venturing off the relatively safe groomed trails, you should learn to recognize and avoid potential avalanche slopes and terrain traps, carry and know how to use avalanche beacons, 探针和铲子, 当然, never ski or snowshoe alone. Before setting off on any outing, check out the 科罗拉多州 雪崩信息rmation Center (CAIC) in 杜兰戈州 for current mountain weather, snow and avalanche conditions in this area.
If you don't have the proper equipment, both cross-country can be purchased or rented at Ouray Mountain Sports on Main Street. If you wish to call ahead of time, you can contact them at 970.325.4284.
Remember that venturing into the winter backcountry is inherently hazardous and you are 旅行 at your own risk, even on groomed trails. Prepare yourself accordingly and don't exceed the capability of the least experienced in your party.
