In sintesi

There is a lingering MODERATE avalanche danger rating in the upper elevations where a person could still trigger a wind slab that formed during the last storm.

For the most part the wind slabs have stabilized but you still might find one that could crack out along the upper elevation very steep slopes that face north through east.

If you avoid those areas, the avalanche danger is generally LOW.

    I am often amazed at how quickly snow can stabilize in the springtime. Friday during the storm there were cornice falls and some soft slab avalanches that released naturally. By mid day Saturday you almost couldn't buy an avalanche. That said, it's hard to completely trust the large drifts and slabs that have formed in the higher terrain. I'll be avoiding those again today even though it seems fairly unlikely that they will release at this point.

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions: It was a beautiful day in the mountains on Saturday with temperatures into the upper 30s and plenty of sun. Riding conditions were quite good but the wind did damage a bunch of the upper elevation snow. The snow became damp in many locations and you'll find a crust out there this morning. Overnight temperatures gradually cooled to around 30˚F. The wind from the southwest picked up and is quite strong along the higher terrain.

Mountain Weather: We'll see increasing clouds through the day with temperatures into the upper 30s again. The southwest wind is going to be pretty strong along the higher terrain. A pretty significant looking storm moves in Monday through Wednesday, which could drop 1 to 2 feet of snow.
