I remember the old days when we used to just bike across avalanche fields on road bikes with no helmets.

One of these days I’ll have to get out there before the road opens and ride to Logan Pass.

This coming storm will probably exacerbate the avalanche problem since it will be a wet snow and it's going to warm up after the storm passes.
