The avalanche danger is LOW on all aspects and elevations. Watch for unstable snow on isolated terrain features. Continue to identify and avoid any of the rounded, smooth or scalloped wind drifts on any steep slopes. Keep in mind that even a small avalanche in dangerous terrain can be deadly.

This morning we will see high clouds early in the day that should break up by the afternoon providing some sunshine. Temperatures took a dive overnight with many upper elevation thermometers reading in the teens to low twenties °F. Northerly winds finally calmed down after yesterday's weak storm system that passed over head. This morning the winds are from the northerly direction and are currently blowing 10-15 mph with gusts into the low 20's at upper elevations. Mid elevations, the winds are calm.

The northerly winds have done their work at the upper elevations creating sastrugi and wind board in many locations. Mid and low elevation shady terrain that is sheltered from the wind/sun provides soft settled powder. Southerly aspects will be crusted this morning and depending on cloud cover and your location they may or may not soften with day time heating.
