Kernpunkte

A CONSIDERABLE danger rating exists on upper elevation north through east facing slopes.

Triggereing avalanche that breaks into loose sugary faceted snow is still the biggest concern. The most likely places to trigger one of these is on very steep north through east facing slopes.

    The snowpack remains weak with numerous layers of weak sugary faceted snow buried within it. In general, as time goes on, things will stabilize more and the chance for triggering an avalanche will decrease. However, these buried weak layers are not going to gain enough strength for us to forget about them. There is a good chance that they will become active again with future snow storms.

    Personally, I don't trust a snowpack with buried faceted snow. I have not been on any steep terrain for most of the winter. I'm not sure I'll feel comfortable with anything steep through the end of the winter. We'll see how things progress through March.

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions: Temperatures have been very warm. Highs on Monday pushed into the 40s and only cooled into the mid 30s overnight. Wind was light to moderate in speed on Monday and has just increased slightly this morning. Warm temperatures have taken a hit on the riding conditions. You'll find crusts this morning in most locations. A hint of dense dry snow can still be found in the upper elevation more northerly facing terrain.

Mountain Weather: We'll have clear skies, slightly breezy wind from the west, and high temperatures into the 40s again. Things cool a bit Wednesday then warm back up through the weekend. It is still looking like no significant new snow until around March 4th.
