The avalanche danger rating is MODERATE on mid and upper elevation northwest through southeast facing slopes.
Small human triggered avalanches are possible.
Pockets of wind drifted snow just underneath higher ridges are the most likely places to find any trouble today.
Your only threat out there today is the chance for triggering a fresh wind drift or wind slab.
The most likely places will be just under ridgelines where wind has been depositing snow.
These pockets won't be all that large but could knock you around.
To stay safe, simply avoid the steepest slopes where wind has been drifting and depositing snow.

Current Conditions: The current storm track has been just to our north leaving us out of the heavier snowfall. We've picked up about an inch in the last 24 hours. Totals since Saturday are 5 to 8 inches. The wind has been moderate in speed from the west southwest. Temperatures have been in the upper teens to low 20s over the last 24 hours. Riding conditions should be quite good again today.
Mountain Weather: Again, the storm track is staying just to our north and we'll be lucky to pick up a couple of inches of snow if anything today. Wind will continue from the southwest with moderate speeds and might slow a bit later on. Temperatures should remain in the teens and low 20s. We'll see partly cloudy skies throughout the week with the chance for snow late Wednesday and again late Friday. These storms don't look like huge snow producers but should help continue to keep conditions fresh.
