The general avalanche hazard is LOW below 10,500 feet. Low hazard does not mean no hazard. Yesterday skiers and riders triggered small loose wet slides two to six inches in depth and the snow ran 1,000 feet or more. Although these loose slides will be harder to trigger today the potential still exist and will be most likely during the heat of the day. Be conscious of run out zones under steep starting zones above 10,000 feet.

The weather system that increased cloud cover and ridgetop winds during the day on Saturday will bring the chance for mountain snow and valley rain overnight. One to three inches of new snow could accumulate by Sunday morning before the quick moving system exits to the east and skies begin to clear. Overnight lows in the mountains will be near 20 before rising to around 30 during the day. Westerly ridgetop winds will be strong overnight at 25 to 35 miles per hour before decreasing during the day at 15 to 20.The general avalanche hazard below 10,500 feet is expected to be LOW on Sunday. The few inches of new snow called for overnight will fall onto a mostly stable snowpack. Shallow wet slides will become possible if surfaces crusts break down on upper elevation, sunlit aspects.
