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.

With daytime heating, we may see some shallow, loose, wet avalanche activity on sun-exposed slopes. Avoid steep slopes if they become wet and sloppy.

The UAC's Avy Awareness Auction is currently underway with tons of great gear, jewelry, artwork and experiences available. Visit the auction page here to help support the UAC's spring avalanche awareness and outreach efforts.

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: SE winds ramped up overnight and temps remained fairly warm, barely dipping below freezing. Today look for sunny skies, breezy southerly winds, and high temps in the low 40's. Tomorrow we should see clouds start to move in ahead of a weak storm system that will affect the region on Sunday.

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.
