Highlights
There is a MODERATE avalanche danger rating in the upper elevation slopes steeper than 30˚.
Overall, avalanche conditions are pretty safe right now unless you're really looking for trouble and pushing into very steep radical terrain where you could trigger a recent wind drift.
Snow and Weather
Current Conditions: Light snowfall on Wednesday didn't add any measurable snow. Temperatures have stayed cold. Most locations are about 10˚F or a bit colder this morning. Wind has been steady along the highest terrain from the north northwest. It's been pretty light just down off the ridges.
Mountain Weather: Cloud cover is, again, going to be tricky today. If we're lucky, we'll see some clearing as the day goes on. However, there's enough low level moisture to support clouds up against the mountains. Temperatures will get into the mid teens today. Wind will remain from the northwest and might slow a bit. Overall it should be pretty light. Friday looks like we might actually get some visibility and slightly warmer temperatures. A storm is shaping up for Sunday into Monday which should bring a nice little snow refresher.
