Weather and Snow
Temperatures on Thursday got quite warm. Enough to the point the high elevation north facing slopes would form "rollerballs" if they were disturbed with a machine or skis. They didn't get to the point of producing any wet snow avalanches.
Today we'll see increasing clouds and a storm moves through tonight and Saturday. The storm continues to pull apart or "split" with most of it diving well to our south. We might get a few inches of snow but I'm not expecting much.
Things clear out on Sunday with some of the warmest temperatures of the season in store.
Recent Avalanches
There was some minor wet snow avalanche activity in Huntington Canyon late Thursday which did put some debris on the road.
