The avalanche danger is generally LOW and mostly stable snow conditions exist. Low danger doesn't mean no danger and it may still be possible to trigger an isolated wind drift in steep, upper elevation, wind affected terrain. Even a small avalanche triggered in the wrong area can have devastating consequences.

A new version of the UAC IOS application is now available on the Apple App Store. This version fixes many of the issues that occur when running IOS 13.

Weather: Southwesterly winds backed off a bit overnight into the 10-15 mph range where they'll remain today. Skies will be partly sunny and high temps will reach the mid 30's. Unsettled weather through the week will keep the mountains under mostly cloudy skies with a chance for snow on Wednesday, and then hopefully a better chance on Friday when a low-pressure system off the Southern California coast will move into the desert Southwest. The actual track is uncertain and models are showing disagreement at this time. It could stay south of us or we could get some snow. Stay tuned.

Snowpack: Spring-like conditions are in effect with melt-freeze crusts on sun exposed slopes that become moist during the day. Some of these slopes may be supportable in the morning with pre-corn like conditions. Northerly facing, wind exposed terrain is scoured and crusted, while some soft, powdery snow can still be found on sheltered aspects.
