Highlights
The avalanche danger is LOW, and the snow is mostly stable.
Small, loose dry avalanches may run on steep, sheltered, north-facing slopes. Although small, these slides can entrain enough snow to push you around and create a hazard in terrain traps like gullies and chutes.

Snow and Weather
A trace of new snow sits on the ground this morning under mostly clear skies. Temperatures have dropped into the low teens, accompanied by light northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph. This cold air will remain in place throughout the day, keeping daytime highs in the teens to low 20s F. We may see a flurry or two throughout the day, but it won't add up to a measurable accumulation. Winds are expected to remain out of the north-northwest, with speeds gradually increasing through the day to 15–30 mph.
No good news to report for the timing of our next potential snowfall. Split flow is sending storm systems north or south of us in model runs.
