The avalanche danger is generally LOW. If you are venturing into some of the higher, more extreme terrain, be on the lookout for isolated pockets of wind drifted snow on northerly aspects. Loose snow sluffs are also still a possibility on very steep slopes approaching 40 degrees. Keep these problems in mind if tagging big lines in the La Sals is part of your game plan.

When the forecasting ends, the UAC’s work keeps going strong. Summer is a busy time for the UAC. During the summer we are working hard on our fall and winter planning; putting together the Fall Fundraiser and USAW; updating our awareness and education programs; this summer we will be finishing up the website redesign project.

I didn't see any new avalanches yesterday. Numerous loose, dry avalanches within the most recent storm snow were observed on Sunday.

For a list of avalanches this season go here.

Clouds are spreading over the region ahead of a weak storm system that will begin to affect our area later tonight and into tomorrow. Snow amounts look meager at 2"-4". Today look for increasing clouds, light to moderate SW winds, and daytime high temps in the mid 30's. Sunday's 8"-10" improved conditions dramatically, and good turning and riding can still be found on sheltered northerly aspects. The sun was out in full force yesterday however, and affected slopes will be crusted over.

New snow totals in Gold Basin (10,000')

Snotel totals at the Geyser Pass Trailhead (9600')

Winds at 11,000 feet on Abajo Peak (11,330') about 45 miles south.
