The best skiing potential will be in sheltered glades around treeline. This may be a good time to consider some of the larger ice climbs in the area.
Summary
Weather Forecast
A stable air mass is moving into the area which will bring light Northwest winds gusting to moderate at ridge tops in the afternoon. No significant precipitation is in the forecast for the next few days. Temperatures should rise during the day, but freezing levels will remain at valley bottom.
Snowpack Summary
Yesterday's moderate to strong SW winds built slab conditions on open tree line slopes and along ridge lines in the alpine. Winds have tapered off as a stable airmass moves in. The mid-pack is facetting in shallower areas, but remains strong around treeline. Northwest winds may redistribute some snow onto Southeast aspects near ridge tops.
Avalanche Summary
Small, loose snow avalanches continue to run from rock bands and steep alpine terrain. These slides have little mass and have not as yet triggered the wind slabs beneath them.� No natural slab avalanches were observed today.
Confidence
The weather pattern is stable
