Kernpunkte
If there is enough snow to ski or ride, there is more than enough snow to produce an avalanche. The most likely places to trigger a slide will be on upper elevation slopes where a lingering slab of wind drifted snow could avalanche. Right now, the real danger isn't so much being buried but having the avalanche carry you over consequential terrain, causing traumatic injury. It's still very early in the season with limited skiing and riding options. We will be issuing intermittent updates and publishing backcountry observations as they arrive. Please continue to submit your observations - Thanks!

Snow and Weather
This morning, we woke up to clear skies, calm winds, and inversion in the mountains with upper elevation temperatures near 40 F and lower elevation temperatures near 30 F. After many days of elevated west-northwestly wind speeds, the wind has finally died down and transitioned to the southwest.
Looking into the weekend, Saturday should be a beautiful day with clear skies, light southwesterly winds, and temperatures crawling into the upper-40s by the afternoon. As we move into Sunday, we begin transitioning into a more active weather pattern. Temperatures will remain in the low 40s F, but some light rain could begin after noon. No measurable accumulation is expected by Sunday evening.
Next week, weather remains a bit unsettled throughout the first half of the week with light rain and snowfall expected daily. Accumulation totals expected remain below 5 inches throughout the week.
Heads up - Although snow depths at upper elevations are 2-3 feet deep, the risk of hitting rocks or other buried objects remains high.
