Abajos

The avalanche danger is MODERATE today and human triggered avalanches remain possible on steep, wind drifted slopes. A triggered wind slab also has the potential to step down into a buried, persistent weak layer causing a deeper and more dangerous avalanche. You are most likely to encounter a persistent weak layer on steep, shady, northerly facing slopes. Most low elevation and south-facing terrain have LOW danger.

N-NE winds yesterday blew a little more than expected and though it's been just over a week since our last storm, there is still plenty of loose snow available for transport. Be on the lookout for fresh wind drifts along upper elevation ridge crests. Today we'll see sunny skies with light NW winds and high temps in the mid 20's. Dry conditions will remain in effect for the foreseeable future. We're off to a great winter so far with a snowpack of near 200% of normal for this time of year!
