The overall avalanche danger is generally LOW. There is an isolated or "pockety" MODERATE avalanche danger along the upper elevation ridges on the east half of the compass. While it seems fairly unlikely, recently formed wind drifts may crack out on a person on very steep slopes.

Current Conditions: Another 2 to 4 inches of snow fell last night bringing storm totals since Sunday up to 7 inches in some locations. The first impulse of the storm brought very dense snow. Last night's impulse brought low density powder. During my travel on Monday I did not observe any avalanches. I did not experience any cracking in any wind drifts. I did note plenty of wind affected snow along the upper ridges so there was no doubt snow being transported. The west wind has slowed down and is generally light. Temperatures dropped into the single digits overnight.

Mountain Weather: We'll have quite nice weather through the remainder of the week with a gradual warming trend. Today will stay fairly cool with highs around 20˚F along the upper ridges. The next storm to move through our area looks like around next Monday.
