With another round of strong sunshine and warming temperatures, we can expect the daily cycle of melt-freeze on sunny aspects to continue. Remember, if the snow is becoming damp or unsupportable and you're seeing roller balls on any aspect or elevation, it's time to get out of there.

Plan your exits today and remember the aspects above you can be cooking in the sun while you're in the shade below. Wet snow avalanches can run long distances and pile up deeply in gullies and other terrain traps.

Snow and Weather

Under clear skies, mountain temperatures range from 25 to 35°F. The wind is from the northwest, blowing 5-15 mph with gusts barely hitting 20 mph. Today will be another beautiful day with plenty of sunshine as high pressure takes hold. Temperatures will warm up a bit faster this afternoon, climbing into the low to mid-40s °F. The wind will remain from the northwest and blow 5-15 mph, with some higher peaks having gusts into the 30s.

Yesterday's warm temperatures and strong sunshine melted the snow surface at low elevations and on sunny aspects, and this morning, you will find a crust there. However, many people still found excellent riding and turning conditions on shady slopes at the mid and upper elevations.
