Weather and Snow

General Conditions: Highs on Friday were into the mid-20s, and overnight lows were back into the teens. Wind has been light to moderate from the west-northwest. I hate to be negative, but the surface conditions are basically horrible. On the bright side, the weather is nice, and it's always good to go up and enjoy the high country.

Mountain Weather: We should have mostly clear skies today with temperatures probably getting into the 30s in the high country. Wind will be generally light from the northwest. Expect more of the same over the next few days, only warmer.

Description

It would be very unlikely that a person could trigger an avalanche today. The snowpack is shallow but mostly stable right now. There is a lot of weak, faceted snow around that we will want to take into account (potential weak layers) once it actually snows. However, it doesn't appear that we need to worry about that anytime soon.
