The Sierra Avalanche Center has issued a severe avalanche warning for the Central Sierra Nevada, triggered by a series of snowstorms that deposited several feet of snow. The warning, effective from February 13 to February 14, cites a high risk of avalanche conditions across a vast area including the greater Lake Tahoe region. With a danger rating of four, travel in avalanche-prone terrain is discouraged due to the likelihood of large and very large avalanches, which can be devastating, potentially burying or killing individuals and even damaging vehicles.
The avalanche warning in the Sierra Nevada indicates a 'high' risk of avalanches due to recent heavy snow, urging caution for backcountry travel.
Avalanche conditions have been rated at level four, meaning very dangerous situations exist, with large and very large avalanches expected across the region.
