The avalanche danger is generally LOW. If snow totals come in on the higher end, we may see some new wind drifts developing along upper elevation ridge crests on slopes the face NW-N-E. Loose snow sluffs are also still a possibility on very steep slopes of around 40 degrees. Keep these problems in mind if tagging big, high 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.

Skies are cloudy, SW ridge top winds are blowing 15-20 mph, and 10,000' temps are in the high 20's. A weak storm system will produce snow showers later today with 1"-3" possible across most of the range. The highest elevations may see 3"-5". SW winds will continue to blow in the 15-20 mph range along ridge tops with some higher gusts.

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 on Monday however, and affected slopes will be crusted over.
