Avalanche danger lurks in Sierra
By Benjamin Spillman, Reno Gazette-Journal
A potentially deadly avalanche problem is still lurking at two popular Reno-area backcountry destinations thanks to a weak layer deep in the snowpack.
That’s according to the Sierra Avalanche Center which on Tuesday featured observations from Chickadee Ridge and Tamarack peak along with the daily avalanche advisory.
Chickadee and Tamarack are popular destinations for Reno and Lake Tahoe area residents who enjoy snowshoeing and backcountry skiing and snowboarding.
