While chances are becoming less likely, you still could trigger a dangerous avalanche that breaks into older, weak sugary loose snow.

    Your main concern is the chance for triggering an avalanche that breaks deeper into loose sugary faceted snow. The chances become less each day. However, the severity of the avalanche stays the same. This is what we call a "low frequency – high consequence" event. The most likely places to find trouble are in the upper elevation north through east facing terrain. Slopes that are especially suspect our area areas where wind has transported and deposited snow.

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions: After another warm day on Tuesday, temperatures cooled into the teens overnight. Wind from the north west was a bit breezy from time to time over the last 24 hours. Down off the most exposed peaks the wind is generally light to moderate this morning.

Mountain Weather: We'll have scattered clouds and temperatures up to around 30°F today. Wind from the north northwest will generally be light to moderate in speed. Temperatures rebound and we are going to see warm weather through the weekend.
