In sintesi

The avalanche danger is rated CONSIDERABLE on steep slopes in the mid and upper elevations that face west, north and east.

There is less danger in lower elevations as well as on southerly facing slopes.

    Weak sugary faceted snow at the base of the snowpack remains the biggest threat. As time goes on, the chances of triggering an avalanche decrease. The problem is we just can pinpoint which slopes will stay in place and which ones will avalanche when we get on them. This makes things quite dangerous. It's a game of Russion Roulette. I don't screw around with steep slopes when there is a Persistent Weak Layer of facets present. I will wait until the weak snow near the ground gains strength before getting into steep terrain.

    For a recap of how the season has progressed up to this point, check out the SEASONAL SNOWPACK SUMMARY.

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions: The Skyline picked up about 2 inches of new snow in the last 24 hours. Wind has been moderate in speed from the northwest. Temperatures cooled down to around 20˚F. There's not all that much new snow but I'm betting that it's keeping riding conditions decent. Mountain Weather: There was still very light snow falling early this morning. Skies should start to clear as the day goes on. A period of high pressure moves in Saturday and will last through mid week next week bringing sunshine, very mild temperatures and light wind speeds. Weather models are currently hinting at a significant series of storms starting late next week.
