Weather and Snow

General Conditions: Riding conditions are a complete mixed bag. You'll find everything from breakable sun crusts, wind crusts, rock-hard windboard, to areas with soft settled snow. Travel on skis and sleds remains decent because the little bit of snow that is in the mountains is supportable and keeps you up off the ground. Wind has been light from the west over the last 24 hours. Temperatures reached the mid-20s on Monday and dropped into the teens overnight.

Mountain Weather: We'll see some scattered high clouds today with temperatures into the upper 20s and light wind from the west. The wind will shift a little more southwest late in the day. A very minor disturbance moving north of us on Wednesday will bring some clouds. Otherwise, high pressure continues to be the dominant feature over the west, and we'll see very warm temperatures this weekend and into next week.

Description

There are no specific avalanche problems at this time. You can travel around with very little threat of avalanches. The limiting factor is the shallow snowpack, which averages two feet deep across the higher terrain.
