It's been close to a week since 2' of snow containing 3.0" of snow water equivalent (SWE) fell in the Abajo/Blue Mountains and the snowpack has largely adjusted to the load. This means that human triggered avalanches are unlikely but not impossible. Cloudy weather should limit heating from the sun and limit the threat of any wet snow avalanches.

The main threat possibly today and more likely on Sunday will be increased winds from the south that will be forming soft slabs of wind drifted snow. The danger of this avalanche problem will the rising.
