Highlights
The avalanche danger is generally LOW. As usual, if you are getting into very steep, radical terrain, this would be the only place that a person might trigger an avalanche today. Consider the consequences of even a small slide if it were to catch you and push you into trees or rocks or over a cliff.
Snow and Weather
Current Conditions: Riding conditions are hit or miss out there right now. Lots of the more exposed higher terrain has been hit hard by wind. Sunny facing slopes will have a melt/freeze crust. Sheltered terrain still holds dry settled powder. Temperatures overnight were in the upper 20s and there is moderate speed ridgetop southwest wind.
Mountain Weather: Today's storm looks weaker and weaker for our area as it approaches. I'm not expecting more than a trace of snow to possibly a couple of inches. The best chances for snow are this afternoon into the evening. High temperatures will be around 30˚F and wind will be from the southwest in the moderate speed range. The weather looks quiet through next week with no snowfall anticipated.
