If you're looking for LOW avalanche danger you came to the right place. Green Light conditions blanket the danger rose, suggesting human triggered avalanches are unlikely on all aspects and elevations. Sure, most terrain is good to go... but if you're stepping into a big, committing line take a second or two and think about the consequences of triggering even a small avalanche that could knock you off your feet and instantly ruin your day.

It's been rather quiet on the eastern front with no significant avalanche activity to report

NOWCAST-

Man, we can't catch a break! Yet another dry, cold front slid through the region overnight, ushering in a few high clouds along with cooler temperatures which register in the teens this morning. Now for the irritating news... after a brief respite, northwest winds bumped into the 20's and 30's right around dinner time last night and have blown steadily through the early morning hours. Riding and turning conditions have taken a hard hit, though swaths of soft snow are still found on wind and sun protected slopes.

FORECAST-

Occasional high clouds drift in and out of the region today with high temperatures climbing into the low to mid 30's. Northwest winds are gonna be obnoxious for a few hours, blowing into the 40's but relax somewhat, backing off into the 20's as the day progresses.

FUTURECAST-

Thursday delivers a copy and paste forecast, another dry cool front slated for late Friday, and then dry and warm weather is on tap for the weekend. A glimmer of hope for some storminess develops right around Valentines Day.
