    The additional snow and wind from the stormenhances the chance for triggering an avalanche that breaks into weak sugary faceted snow. The Persistent Weak Layer that formed in Jan/Feb is still quite active. The most likely places to trigger an avalanche are steep slopes in the upper elevations that face northwest, north, northeast and east. Wednesday's wind is a significant factor. Wind almost always makes for dangerous avalanche conditions especially when combined with a buried weak layer. The only thing you can do to stay safe is to avoid steep upper elevation northerly through east facing slopes.

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions

Storm totals are 8 to 10". The new snow fell on top of settled powder so it really feels deep in many places. There was some wind with this storm. It was definitely gusty during the day on Wednesday and it was stirring up the snow and forming drifts. It slowed down overnight and is pretty light now. Temperatures have continued to drop and they are around 10˚F this morning.

Mountain Weather

The storm is over and we'll see lingering clouds and maybe some clearing as the day goes on. Temperatures are going to remain cold with most locations staying at around 10˚F. Northwest wind should remain fairly light with some moderate speeds along the higher terrain. Friday is clear with highs in the low 20s. Saturday is also clear with warmer temperatures.
