Abajos

New snow combined with wind has created dangerous avalanche conditions and the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE at upper elevations and steep, wind drifted slopes should be avoided today. On slopes facing the north half of the compass, the additional snow load may be enough to trigger avalanches down to a buried persistent weak layer causing a deeper and more dangerous avalanche. At mid and lower elevations the danger is MODERATE. Suspect avalanches on steep slopes that have more than about 8" of new snow.

5"-10" of snow has fallen across the range with the south side near Camp Jackson being favored. We should see continued snowfall today with another 4"-8" possible. Winds were mostly calm yesterday but are on the increase today from the NW and will reach speeds of 20-25 mph with gusts near 40. High temps will be in the mid 20's. Tomorrow will be dry and partly sunny before the next system moves in on Tue.
