You might find an inch or two of fresh snow, and a bit more is possible today. There's about a foot of total snow on the ground above around 8500' in elevation. Still not enough snow on most slopes for avalanche problems, with possible exceptions at the highest elevations where drifting snow created shallow wind slabs. We are closely watching the shallow snow on the ground, with facet forming high pressure weather conditions expected for the coming weekend.
Words of warning: Very shallow, early season conditions exist, and you are likely to hit rocks or woody debris in most areas. The Tony Grove Road is not maintained in the winter for wheeled vehicles, and road conditions are icy and treacherous, so come prepared. The Tony Grove Area is a shared use area and very popular in the early season, so please watch your speed, use patience, and be respectful of other users.
Snow is starting to pile up at higher elevations, so it's time to dust off and check the condition of your avalanche rescue equipment. Review and practice Companion Avalanche Rescue with our video..........HERE****
