Nowcast - The trend continues, and 0500 AM temperatures hover in the high 20's F° at 9,000'. Winds have been calm since yesterday afternoon and continue from in the same fashion from the southwest with a 5-10 MPH breeze.
Forecast - Expect mostly sunny skies today, yet not as warm as yesterday, as temperatures warm up into the high 30’s F°. Winds should be light from the southwest 5-10 MPH with gusts into the twenties near the high peaks.
Futurecast - Keep your fingers crossed and do a dance for a change in the pattern. There's some uncertainty with the strength of a midweek storm, but it does look like a moist, mild system slides through the region sometime Wednesday, bringing potential mountain snowfall. We'll keep ya in the loop as things play out.
Travel Conditions - There has been no shortage of pleasant weather and mild temperatures, leaving behind variable travel and riding conditions in its wake. From crusts to wind-boards, facets to spring slush, you can pretty much find it all out there. Protected and shady terrain on the north half of the compass at upper-elevations continues to provide the best riding we can find during this high-pressure wave.
A beautiful shot from yesterday looking west at the Central Uintas from the top of Mount Marsell, thanks for sharing Eli P!
In the Wolf Creek zone yesterday we were surprised by decent turns and a rough, but supportable snow surface. It definitely takes a little time to sniff things out, but there is a chance!
There is no new avalanche activity to report, but tons of travel reports and observations can be found below.
