The North Creek Road has been closed to wheeled vehicles but there still isn't enough snow in the Abajos for over snow recreation. A Christmas day storm is bringing light snow to the range with 1-3" expected. A trace to an inch of snow is expected to fall on Thursday. The new snow is a welcome sight, but it won't be enough for skiing and riding. Snow cover ranges from about 6" at Camp Jackson and in lower North Creek, to up to 18" on upper elevation, northerly aspects. This snow is quite weak, and will form an unstable base for future snow loads. Most south facing terrain is bare. For now, human triggered avalanches are unlikely. We'll update this summary as conditions warrant.
