I wonder how this year will fair, with some areas not getting great amounts of snow coverage?

It was eye opening how vulnerable you are in the mountains, after our campsite in Panorama was under an evacuation watch from a fire we watched light last summer. :eek:

We're close to normal at the shitbox in Idaho, but Montana looking dry.

Too we had a very early/warm start to spring so I think the mud season will be shorter than usual:

I think southern CO is already pretty dry.

Fire Capt brother in BC knows it's going to be a shitty summer again already.

If they get above average snow, it's "excess fuel" and high fire danger. If they don't get snow it's too dry and high fire danger. If it's just right, it's high fire danger due to climate change.

Basically, any place that has forests is screwed.
