Kernpunkte
The avalanche danger is LOW and the snow is generally stable. Remember that Low danger does not mean No danger. Even small avalanches can lead to trouble in extreme terrain. With a strong storm heading our way, be sure to re-evaluate your plans based on the weather today. Heavy snowfall for a short period can instantly spike the avalanche danger.

Snow and Weather
Under partly cloudy skies, the mountain temperatures range from 24-32 °F. The wind has picked up from the southwest and is spinning ridgetop anemometers at 15-25 mph with gusts into the 30s and 40s.
Today we will see partly to mostly cloudy skies with temperatures rising into the 30s and 40s °F. The wind will remain from the southwest and blow 15-25 mph or stronger ahead of a storm slated for later today. Clouds will increase in the afternoon, and the chances of snow showers and thunderstorms will also increase. After 4:00 PM, snow will begin to fill in, and the cold front should cross overhead around 7:00 - 9:00 PM bringing a burst of heavy snowfall. Snowfall will continue overnight, and by Sunday morning, we should see about 7-14" of new snow.
Additional Info
On Thursday, Drew Hardesty found a thin grey line of buried surface hoar roughly 2" deep on his field day. Another backcountry skier also found this layer in Upper Whitepine Canyon LCC yesterday. Keep an eye out for this and if you find it today, please submit an observation so we can see how widespread this layer is.
