Most terrain has generally LOW danger and mostly stable snow conditions exist. Low danger doesn't mean no danger. It may still be possible to trigger an isolated wind slab in upper elevation terrain on steep slopes facing N-E-SE. Drifts are recognizable by their smooth, rounded appearance and they may sound or feel hollow like a drum. Practice safe travel protocol and approach steep slopes with blind convexities or break-overs with caution.

A huge shout out to all who attended our Backcountry 101 course this weekend. It's great to see people engaged and working to further their education. And thanks again to Moab Gear Trader for their generous sponsorship of this course!

Look for decreasing clouds, light to moderate WNW winds, and high temps at 10,000' near 30 degrees. Skies will be mostly clear tonight and then clouds should again increase on Tuesday - residual energy from a broad trough situated over the central U.S. Dry conditions continue through the rest of the week with the crystal ball advertising the next storm for around Feb 24.
