Abajos

The avalanche danger is MODERATE today and human triggered avalanches remain possible on steep, wind drifted slopes. Triggering an old wind slab is becoming increasingly less likely, but a triggered wind slab also has the potential to step down into a buried, persistent weak layer causing a deeper and more dangerous avalanche. You are most likely to encounter a persistent weak layer on steep, shady, northerly facing slopes. Most low elevation and south-facing terrain have LOW danger.

A trace to an inch of snow fell in the mountains yesterday. Westerly winds remained relatively calm blowing in the 15-20 mph range along ridge tops. Today looks to be mostly sunny and beautiful with light northerly winds and high temps near 20 degrees. Conditions will remain dry for the next several days.

We're off to a great winter so far with a snowpack of near 200% of normal for this time of year!
