Highlights
A LOW avalanche danger exists as we generally have safe avalanche conditions. Watch for unstable snow on isolated terrain features. Natural and human-triggered avalanches are unlikely.
Snow and Weather
Under clear skies, the mountain temperatures range from 8°F in the canyon bottoms to 33°F at 11,000'. This shows a significant temperature inversion and a rapid warm-up from yesterday morning, with temperatures being 13 degrees warmer at the upper elevations. Winds are currently from the westerly direction at 5-10 mph speeds across the upper elevations.
Expect plenty of sunshine today with light winds, and mountain temperatures rising into the low 30's and 40's °F.
