In sintesi
The avalanche danger is LOW on all aspects and elevations, and Normal Caution is advised. Wind slabs and cornices are always a problem as mountain travel is inherently risky. However, with safe travel practices, they should be easy to avoid. Remember, as we increase our terrain selection to steep, radical terrain, we also increase the consequence, where even a small avalanche can be fatal. Slide for life conditions poses a threat in some of the alpine terrain across the range. If your objective is big mountainous terrain, crampons, whippets, and or an ice axe would be useful tools to have in the pack today.

Snow and Weather
Under clear skies, the upper elevation mountain temperatures are in the mid-teens °F this morning with lower elevation trailhead temperatures in the single digits °F. Westerly winds did pick up overnight and are currently blowing 10-15 mph gusting into the low 20's across the exposed 10,000' ridgelines.
As a weak storm passes to our north and east, we could see an increase in cloud cover later this afternoon that, hopefully, will be short-lived. Winds will remain from the north and west today and may increase for a short time as this weak storm moves east. There will be plenty of sunshine and mountain temperatures will climb into the low to mid 30's °F at 8,000'.
In the wind and sun sheltered terrain, soft, settled powder can still be found on many slopes.
