One more day of solid Green Light conditions blanket the danger rose, suggesting human triggered avalanches are unlikely on all aspects and elevations. So... if you're looking for LOW avalanche danger you came to the right place. Indeed, 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.

No significant avalanche activity to report

NOWCAST-

A big, bright, beautiful Snow Moon illuminates on our mountains this morning as one more day of high pressure delivers cloudless skies. Overnight, winds shifted to the west and southwest, but still remain rather well-behaved, blowing in the teens and low 20's even along the high peaks. In between old tracks, wind funk, and varying degrees of supportable suncrusts, a few patches of soft snow still exist on mid elevation, sheltered slopes.

FORECAST-

The last of a long string of warm sunny days is on tap with high temperatures soaring into the 40's. Clouds increase and southerly winds bump into the 30's as the day wares on.

FUTURECAST-

A cold front slides through the area right around sunrise Tuesday, quickly delivering 2"-4" of snow and much colder daytime high temperatures which only climb into the mid 20's. Northwest winds blowing in the 30's along the ridges add a bite to the air. A trailing system clips the area late Wednesday, delivering an additional dusting of snow before high pressure rounds out the work week.

Chad took his Brackpack for a super, Super Bowl tour near Soapstone and found a variety of snow surface conditions. His very informative and most excellent trip report is found HERE.

Not necessarily breaking news, just a reminder there's still soft snow in wind sheltered terrain where you can lay down some Snow Van Gogh :)
