    An avalanche breaking into the old deeply buried November Persistent Weak Layer is really your only concern out there right now. The chances for triggering one are low, consequences remain high.

    I have a zero tolerance policty for buried facets so I continue to stay off the steep terrain. My strategy is to wait for this next storm to move through and see if there are any natural avalanches that happen. If not, I'll be feeling quite a bit better and will probably start cautiously getting into some select steeper terrain.

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions: Moderate speed wind from the south has stirred up the snow a bit in the more exposed terrain. Wind speeds are fairly light this morning. Dense soft snow can still be found in many locations. Temperatures are around 20˚F this morning.

Mountain Weather: Clouds will continue to build in ahead of a decent looking storm for the Skyline. Southwest wind speed will gradually increase today but won't get real strong. Snowfall starts tonight in a southwest flow and we should see 4 to 8 inches by Tuesday morning. Southwest wind looks like it's going to be pretty strong for a short period Tuesday morning. We'll have a break in snowfall during the day then another better looking period of snow late Tuesday into Wednesday which should bring another 6 to 10 inches.
