Weather Forecast
A series of pacific storms in a westerly flow will bring precipitation to the west sides of the divide and warm westerly winds to the east. The strongest in the series looks to be Friday night into Saturday and may be enough to bump the avalanche danger rating higher.
Snowpack Summary
Some light wind transport and a trace of new snow today with the first in a series of storms in a strong westerly flow. Last weeks storm snow is settling, but the weak base of depth hoar and/or crust is still the major concern.
Avalanche Summary
The natural avalanche activity triggered by last weeks storm has subsided and no new avalanches have been observed in the last 36 hrs. The potential for triggering still remains likely.

Intensity of incoming weather systems is uncertain on Saturday
