Today's picks
The same Pacific Northwest data your assistant draws on — a few standouts from the current forecast.
What you can ask
Ask anything you’d ask a local guide
- Where can I get peak views within 2 hours of Seattle this weekend?
- Is The Brothers a good ski tour right now — and what’s the avalanche danger?
- Find a quiet, dog-friendly lake hike with gentle elevation gain.
For ski touring and backcountry, Claude surfaces the NWAC forecast — but forecasts change. Always check nwac.us directly before entering avalanche terrain.
