Green Light conditions blanket the danger rose, suggesting human triggered avalanches are unlikely on all aspects and elevations. So... if you're looking for LOW avalanche danger you came to the right place. Sure, most terrain is good to go... but if you're stepping into a big, committing line take a second or two and think about the consequences of triggering even a small avalanche that could knock you off your feet and instantly ruin your Super Bowl festivities.

NOWCAST-

With high pressure firmly in place... you guessed it, skies are clear and there's no new snow to report. Temperatures register in the teens and northerly winds blow in the 20's along the ridges. A few patches of soft snow still exist on mid elevation, wind and sun sheltered slopes.

FORECAST-

Expect a warm, sunny day with high temperatures climbing into the mid 30's. Northwest winds should be rather well-behaved, blowing in the 20's with a few gusts to 30 mph near the high peaks.

FUTURECAST-

The graphic above paints a rather bleak picture for a big, game changing storm, though a little mid week bump with a few traces of snow could at least help spirits.

Not necessarily breaking news, just a reminder there's still soft snow in wind sheltered terrain where you can lay down some Snow Van Gogh :)
