Highlights
Today, the avalanche danger is LOW in the backcountry. Avalanches are unlikely, and the snow is stable on most slopes with only a few exceptions. Use normal caution. Watch for and avoid (1) fresh drifts of wind-blown snow on steep upper elevation slopes and (2) new snow or loose recrystallized snow sluffing in very steep terrain.
Recent Activity
No new avalanches or observations from Friday.
Snow and Weather
Under clear skies, the mountain temperature ranges from 18 to 26 °F across the board. Winds are blowing from the westerly direction at speeds of 5-10 mph, with the occasional gust into the 20's across the upper elevation ridgelines. At 9,400', west-southwest winds are slightly stronger and are blowing 20-25 mph.
For today we can expect clear skies and plenty of sunshine. Mountain temperatures will warm into the upper 20's and low 30's °F this afternoon.
We have another storm slated for Sunday evening into Monday and another Tuesday into Wednesday. Details are coming soon, but we can expect hopefully 5-10 inches of new snow.
