    We continue to pile snow on top of the buried sugary faceted snow that formed in November. The avalanches will get larger with each new load of snow. The weak layer of snow is going to remain unstable for some time to come and continue to produce dangerous avalanche conditions. That is why we refer to these types of layers as Persistent Weak Layers. All you can do is stick to lower angle slopes. If not, it's just a game of Russian Roulette.

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions: The storm on Monday did slightly better than I hoped. Snow totals averaged 8 inches in most higher locations but a number of locations were in the 10 to 11" range. It seems that the northern end of the Skyline did better than the southern end. There was some wind with the storm and some drifting of the new snow in exposed terrain. Wind direction varied from the southwest and northwest. Temperatures were in the mid teens Monday and have dropped into the low teens. Riding conditions are top notch with plenty of fresh powder.

Mountain Weather: Light snowfall started up again this morning. We should see periods of snow today with a few more inches stacking up. Temperatures will remain in the teens and the wind should be fairly light in speed from the northwest. We've got a few more days of cloudy weather with chances for snow (mainly Thursday) then it looks like things clear up for the weekend. The next significant storm looks like around Dec 23.
