Kernpunkte

There is MODERATE avalanche danger in drifted upper elevation terrain in the backcountry. People could trigger shallow slab avalanches of wind drifted snow, and small wet loose avalanches are possible in the heat of the day in sunny terrain. Otherwise, the snow is generally stable and the danger LOW at mid and lower elevations.

  • People should use normal caution and evaluate snow and terrain carefully if they venture into drifted terrain.
  • Always keep an eye on your partners, travel one at a time in and below terrain steeper than 30°, and have a plan if an avalanche were to happen.

    People might trigger shallow slab avalanches in drifted terrain, which is mostly found at upper elevations, but drifted areas could be found down lower as well.

    • New drifts formed in the past few days, and some of these may have formed on weakening surface snow and could be pretty sensitive.
    • Avoid corniced slopes and stiffer drifts on steep slopes near ridges and in and around terrain features like under cliff bands, sub-ridges, mid-slope break-overs, and gully walls..
    • Even a small wind slab avalanche can have large consequences.

Recent Activity

Yesterday's sun was warm enough, especially in sheltered terrain to moisten the snow surface. Some loose wet avalanches occurred in the middle of the day in Wood Camp on Monday...HERE

Snow and Weather

Wind and sun have done some damage, but nice powder riding conditions can still be found in many places.

This morning the Tony Grove Snotel at 8400' reports 17° F and 82"of total snow. The CSI Logan Peak weather station at 9700' is showing winds blowing from the northwest 25 to 30 mph.

Today will be cold and partly sunny, with high temperatures at 8500' about 15° F and 10 to 15 mph winds blowing from the northwest, driving wind chill values down to around -6° F.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy with a good chance of snow, but less than an inch of accumulation possible. Expect steady temperatures around 10° F, 10 to 15 mph west-northwest winds, and wind chill values around -7° F.

Tomorrow will be party sunny and cold, with a chance of snow in the afternoon. high temperatures around 16° F and winds blowing from the west-northwest creating wind chills around -5° F. Cold and unsettled weather is expected to last through the week, with a few inches of snow expected Friday and Saturday.

Additional Info

Small wet loose avalanches occurred in the middle of the day Monday in sheltered sunny terrain. This is a mid elevation, south-southeast facing slope in Wood Camp.
