Weather Forecast

Winds easing to light on Monday with clear skies and alpine temperatures approaching 0.  Warm daytime temperatures continuing until the middle of the week then maybe some valley bottom rain showers???

Snowpack Summary

Extreme winds building windslab likely down slope of ridge-lines and on cross-loaded gulley features. A reactive storm slab can be found in sheltered locations at tree-line and on most slopes below tree-line. The new slabs and storm snow is sitting on several touchy surface hoar and facet layers over a weak base.

Avalanche Summary

Several avalanches to size 2 were observed on west facing cross-loaded features in the alpine today.
