Highlights
The avalanche danger is generally LOW. There is a slightly heightened danger in the upper elevations where recently formed wind drifts may release on very steep slopes. Use normal caution while traveling and don't let your avalanche guard down. Continue to look for "pillowy" looking drifts of snow and avoid those that are on very steep slopes.
Recent Activity
There have not been any significant avalanches reported since early December. Keep in mind that not many people have been getting into the higher terrain where the avalanche activity is most likely to occur.
Snow and Weather
You can still find some decent riding conditions if you hunt around a bit. There is still plenty of soft snow on the surface. Be sure to check out the video below of a quick recap of last week's conditions. (OR CLICK HERE)
Weather Outlook:
Today we'll see partly cloudy skies, mild temperatures and slightly increasing southwest wind. More clouds move in for Sunday and the southwest wind looks like it'll get fairly strong. Temperatures remain fairly mild.
The next storm looks like a large unorganized long wave trough that will take a few days to move through. I don't think that it will produce all that much snow but I'm hopeful for about a foot. Periods of snow should start sometime later Tuesday and linger into Friday.
