Nowcast-
Above the valley gunk, skies are clear, and temperatures quite mild, generally registering in the upper 20's and low 30's across the board. Light and variable winds blow less than 20 mph even along the high peaks. Riding and turning conditions are a mixed bag, though there's some creamy snow found in wind sheltered terrain. But with snow depths only averaging 18" or so, the Uinta's are quite thin.
Forecast-
Look for mostly sunny skies, light winds, and high temperatures climbing into the low 40's. Overnight lows dip into the 20's.
Futurecast-
Sunny skies and dry weather prevail through the early portion of the week, with very warm temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday. A glimmer of hope for a little snow materializes Thursday and Friday. Not a game changer, but it could add a coat of white paint and lift spirits... stay tuned.

No new avalanche activity to report. Ted found a drift or two on Double Hill Friday, but in general they are tired and unreactive. More on his travels and informative insight found
