In sintesi
The avalanche danger is generally LOW today. People can travel around most places without being in danger of triggering an avalanche.
Two things to consider today:
- Watch the new snow if it becomes overly wet from daytime heating. Pinwheels, rollerballs and point release loose sluffs are indicators that it is time to avoid steep slopes that are wet.
- Weak snow near the ground still remains in some high elevation northerly facing terrain. Avoid the steepest, shallow, rocky northerly facing slopes and you'll stay safe.
Snow and Weather
Current Conditions: A bump in wind speed early Saturday created more drifts along the higher ridges than I expected. That said, none of the drifts that I provoked would crack out. Riding conditions remain good but you better get after it soon because warm weather is on the way. Temperatures on Saturday didn't get outrageously warm and you'll still find soft settled snow on upper elevation northerly aspects. Overnight temperatures were in the low to upper 20s. Wind is light from the west.
Mountain Weather: Warmer air moves in today with highs along the ridges pushing into the 40s. It looks like the wind will shift around to the southwest and increase a bit late in the day. We have a minor weather disturbance that will move through Monday bringing windy conditions and a brief cool down Tuesday. Otherwise, it looks like sun and warm weather for the extended period.
