Highlights
The avalanche danger is LOW on all aspects and elevations. Remember LOW danger does not mean there is NO danger in the mountains today. Watch for unstable snow on isolated terrain features. Even small avalanches in steep sustained terrain can be fatal if you're taken for a ride. Use safe travel protocol by only exposing one person at a time to avalanche terrain. Carry rescue gear and keep an eye on your partner.

Snow and Weather
Under mostly cloudy skies and some fog the mountain temperatures hover in the low twenties °F at 9,500'. Lower in the canyon (7,500') the temperatures are in the mid to upper 20's °F. Winds are from the south and west and are 5-15 mph with the occasional gust into the low 20's across the upper elevation ridgelines.
For today, we can expect light winds with speeds of 5-10 mph with some gusts reaching 30 mph on the most exposed peaks. We will be mostly cloudy this morning before thinning the clouds by late morning and into the early afternoon. In some places there will be fog and other places could see clearing with some sun possible. Green-housing (warming on all aspects) could be a player this afternoon.
The best snow and riding conditions will be found at upper elevations or above about 7,500' in elevation where the new snow is surfy and fast. Elevations below about 7,500' became damp and wet yesterday afternoon.
