The snowpack is slowly adjusting to last week's snow and wind which drifted LOTS of snow. It's becoming less probable for a person to trigger an avalanche in the majority of the terrain but it's still likely on the higher elevation more east facing slopes that have been wind loaded with snow. A CONSIDERABLE danger still exists in those locations. Buried persistent weak layers of sugar snow are inherently deceiving and often cause avalanches long after we think things are safe.

The avalanche accident report from the La Sal mountains has been updated. ACCIDENT DETAILS HERE.

We have a couple more days of nice weather then a decent looking storm will move through starting Saturday. At first glance, snow totals look like about a foot by Monday. Stay tuned!
