Avalanche Discussion

We are in the last couple days of this very extended cold snap with no accumulation in over two weeks. Things remain generally unreactive for today and likely into tomorrow.  Cloud cover today should limit solar warming and wet loose activity. Warming temps and precipitation should return to the region within the next couple days bringing changes to the snowpack.  We have quite a variety of surface snow conditions that a new snow load will sit on top of as well  multiple potential weak layers within the snowpack.  Watch for signs of instability in this coming week as precip returns, and continue to post your observations.
