Thanks for another great season.

The 2025/26 backcountry season has concluded. We hope you made some great turns and got out there as much as you wanted.

If you're still chasing summer laps at elevation, Snow Doctor's here for you, but heads up: Doctor's Orders is tuned for winter and spring signals (snowpack layering, cold smoke, danger trends), and off-season those signals basically don't apply. Outputs can be flat-out wrong this time of year, like describing snowpack that isn't there. Treat it as entertainment, not a report, until the season kicks back off.

Enjoy the long days. See you next season.
