An isolated or MODERATE avalanche danger remains on steep slopes facing NW-N-NE-E, where human triggered avalanches failing on a buried persistent weak layer remain possible. This is a low probability, high consequence scenario. Don't take leaps of faith and avoid steep convexities and blind break-overs. Practice safe travel techniques and only expose one person to danger at a time.

The mountains picked up a little over an inch of snow last night bringing totals up to anywhere from 5"-10" since Monday. Today we'll see sunny skies, light NW winds, and high temps rising into the mid to upper 30's. Saturday will again see sunny skies with temps in the mid 40's. Clouds should develop Saturday night ahead of a shortwave trough tracking through the Northern Rockies, followed by another low pressure system on Monday. Neither of these look like they will produce much snow for us.
