The avalanche danger will rise accordingly with the incoming storm. For today though, the avalanche danger is LOW with both human triggered and natural avalanches UNLIKELY.

When the forecasting ends, the UAC’s work keeps going strong. Summer is a busy time for the UAC. During the summer we are working hard on our fall and winter planning; putting together the Fall Fundraiser and USAW; updating our awareness and education programs; this summer we will be finishing up the website redesign project.

Other than this heat induced wet slide I found yesterday on a steep, mid elevation, sun baked slope... it's been pretty quiet on the eastern front.

Recent trip reports and avy activity found HERE.

Clouds drifted into the area overnight ahead of stormy weather slated to roll into the region later today. In the meantime, temperatures register in the 20's and southerly winds blow 15-25 mph along the high peaks. Riding and turning conditions remain quite good in upper elevation terrain facing the north half of the compass.... however getting there might be a little rugged first thing out of the gates this morning.

Above is hourly data from Trial Lake (9,945')

And Windy Peak (10,662')

Doing some weather station maintenance yesterday... you know it's a big year when the snow depth site in Upper Moffit Basin is nearly buried :)

A storm system slides into the region throughout the day, producing snow showers late this afternoon which intensify overnight. Today, look for mostly cloudy skies, temperatures rising into the upper 30's, and increasing southwest winds, blowing in the 30's and 40's by around dinnertime. This isn't a big snow producer, but I think 6"-10" is a good bet by Wednesday afternoon when the storm winds down.

It's also a good time to set up one of our very popular avalanche awareness classes. Reach out to me and I'll make it happen.
