Weather and Snow

General Conditions: Nothing significant to report about snow conditions. Average snow depths are about 2 feet in most high elevation locations. Favored spots are closer to 3 feet deep. Logan Addis was prowling around the Electric Lake area on Monday and submitted this BACKCOUNTRY OBSERVATION. Wind from the west really dropped off on Monday. It's increased in speed again slightly but is still generally light. Overnight temperatures were in the teens in the canyon bottoms and 20s along the higher terrain.

Mountain Weather: It'll be another day with temperatures up into the low 30s. We may start to see some high clouds filter in. Wind will be from the west in the light to moderate speed categories and increasing a bit later in the afternoon. Wednesday looks similar with more clouds. A split storm system will drift to our south late in the week bringing clouds and maybe a snowflake or two to our area.

Description

You'd be hard-pressed to get an avalanche to release today. The snowpack contains weak snow, but it is currently stable in most locations. There really isn't much more to talk about concerning current avalanche conditions.
