Thanks for checking in! The weekend storm was a bust, so we’re recalibrating the weather making machine. But don't let your heart be troubled. We'll get it dialed in and return to our regularly scheduled programing soon. And while daily forecasts and danger ratings are weather dependent, they often kick off in early December.

Weather and Snow

Nowcast: After-casting is so easy... the weekend storm looked promising seven days ago, but didn't quite materialize as expected and bumped to the north. But we did manage to squeeze out an evenly distributed 6" of snow across the range and the high country looks like a postcard. With clear skies overhead this morning and a northerly flow at our backs, temperatures begin the day in the teens at the trailheads and single digits along the ridges. It's frigid near the high peaks where the mercury registers in the single digits, while west and northwest winds blow 10-20 mph, delivering wind chill values to -10 degrees. That'll wake ya up faster than a Craig Gordon brewed espresso!

Forecast: High pressure settles in to deliver sunny skies, northerly winds, and high temperatures climbing into the 40's. Overnight lows dip into the teens and low 20's

Futurecast: Nothin' but severe clear for the next week as high pressure homesteads over the region.

Recent Avalanches

No new avalanches observed or reported and there's hardly enough snow to move around on.

Additional Information

Images below were captured prior to Monday's storm-

Murdock Bowl near Bald Mountain Pass in the image above illustrates snow cover in the high country... broken up by terrain features and not quite enough snow to move around on just yet, but worth tracking as early snow layers are the building blocks for our winter snowpack.

A few contiguous patches of snow are found on high elevation northerly slopes where the underlying terrain is smooth and somewhat grassy like pictured here around Lofty Lake.
