Skyline

The overall avalanche danger is MODERATE.

There are two things to look out for today:

1. Wet avalanches due to warming of the new snow. Avoid steep terrain if the new snow becomes overly wet and sloppy. Pinwheels are a clue.
2. Lingering sensitive wind slabs most pronounced in the higher more easterly facing slopes may still be sensitive today.

Current Conditions: A few more inches accumulated on Tuesday bringing storm totals since Saturday up to 16". The central area of the Skyline has received the most snow. There was a little wind from the northwest on Tuesday that was drifting some snow in the higher exposed terrain. Temperatures have remained cool with daytime highs in the low to mid 20s and teens overnight. Riding conditions are quite good.

Mountain Weather: It looks like we should see some clearing this morning then high clouds moving in this afternoon. Temperatures are going to be warmer today with highs getting into the low 30s. Wind will generally be light from the west then later, southwest. There's more snow on the way. We'll see periods of snow starting Thursday night and lasting through the weekend. Snow accumulations will slowly stack up and we could see another foot by Sunday night. Temperatures are going to be a bit warmer compared to the storm system that just moved through.
