In sintesi

A quick hitting cold front moved through Thursday afternoon and dropped an average of 5 inches of new snow.

This hasn't changed the avalanche danger much and conditions are still generally safe.

You may find some sensitive drifts along the highest ridgelines especially on the east half of the compass.

    The most obvious issue that you'll want to watch for today is what is going on with the new snow. Since there was some fairly strong wind with yesterday's snow event, I'll be on the lookout for shallow fresh drifts along the higher ridgelines. Steep easterly facing slopes is where you might find some of these that could crack out. I don't anticipate this really posing a serious threat today. Just be aware that if you find yourself in the described terrain, you might pop out a small pocket. Otherwise, avalanche conditions should be fairly quiet in most locations.

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions: A low pressure system with a well defined cold front moved through Thursday afternoon and produced about 5 inches of snow in most areas. It looks like 12 Mile Canyon did the best with around 8 inches. Wind from the west was a bit breezy with this storm system. Temperatures dropped into the teens overnight. My guess is that we'll still be feeling the old hard surface underneath the small amount of new snow. Conditions could still be decent though.

Mountain Weather: The low pressure system will continue to move through our area today with one more piece of energy producing some snow mid day into tonight. Wind is going to be fairly light from the north. Temperatures will get into the mid to upper 20s. We could see 2 to 5 inches more snow by the time the event ends tonight. Things will start to clear Saturday and temperatures start rebounding.
