Currently: Skies are clear and temperatures dropped significantly overnight, ranging in the single digits F. Northwest winds decreased since yesterday now averaging 5-15 mph, with the highest ridgeline gusts near 30 mph.
For today, skies will remain clear and it should become a beautiful bluebird day. Temperatures will slowly climb into the low-20s F. The northwest winds will remain about the same, with an average in the low teens with gusts below 25 mph at the mid-elevations, while averaging in the low 20s mph with gusts near 40 mph along the exposed ridges at the upper elevations.
Riding conditions have been yet again refreshed. We now have 1-2" of new snow sitting atop the 2-4" of snow from this past Thursday/Friday that was turning to facets and
surface hoar. Although this means soft, dry snow can still be found on the sun and wind-sheltered slopes providing decent travel and riding conditions, the snow at and near the surface may be a potential weak layer with any future storms. With more cold clear nights in the future, yesterday's new snow will soon begin to weaken as well.
No backcountry avalanches were reported.
