The snowpack is generally stable below 10,500 feet. Backcountry travelers may find small, isolated, pockets of a slab avalanche, 18 inches deep, on wind loaded slopes above 9,000 feet. Due to today's cool temperatures, cloudy skies, and the past several days of melt-freeze cycles, wet loose avalanches are not expected today. In light of the current situation involving the Covid-19, please travel respectfully and make conservative decisions to avoid injuries. Thanks

Cooler air in a northwest flow lies along the northern edge of our forecast region. A low-pressure system in Nevada is directing limited moisture into the southern portion of our forecast area. On Saturday skies will be mostly cloudy with occasional periods of light snowfall. Temperatures will fall into the upper teens to 20’s tonight. Daytime highs will be in the upper 20’s and 30’s in the mountains and into the upper 30’s in the valleys. Westerly winds will be light.Humans who venture onto very steep terrain features at the upper elevations could trigger isolated pockets of slab up to 18 inches in depth. Even small slides can be deadly in cliff areas and steep chutes. At the lower elevations warm afternoon temperatures may create areas of wet unstable snow on very steep slopes. Evaluate terrain and conditions carefully. With the current stress on our health care community it’s worth being extra cautious. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be low.
