Nowcast- Rinse and repeat... clear skies overnight allowed temperatures to dip into the low and mid 20's, a few degrees cooler than yesterday at this time, and that'll deliver a solid snowpack refreeze. Westerly winds are light and blow 10-15 mph near the peaks. Riding and turning conditions are aspect dependent... sunnies offer a legit corn harvest that kicks off around 10:00, and working around the compass towards west facing, should last into early afternoon. On the other side of the compass, I found patches of hot pow on upper elevation shadies yesterday.
Forecast- Look for mostly sunny skies, light winds, and high temperatures climbing into the upper 40's. Overnight lows dip into the upper 20's.
Futurecast- Clouds drift into the region late Thursday, offering a few early evening snow showers. A break in the action for Friday with a good shot of snow on tap for late Saturday into Sunday. Unsettled weather lingering into midweek.
The graphic above provided by our good friends and longtime partners at Salt Lake's National Weather Service, illustrates the how and why a Rex Block delivers slightly stagnant weather for another day.
Avy-savvy, snow-pro Trevor Katz, spotted this natural cornice fall in
Upper Chalk Creek which clearly confirms Issac Newtons laws of gravity. Or in the original words of Bobby Fuller and later emphasized by Joe Strummer... I fought the law and the law won :)
A few days old, but honorable mention-worthy none-the-less-
Along the
Strawberry Ridge, a snowbiker triggered and was caught in a stout wind drift, breaking 2.5' deep and 300' wide.
Near Currant Creek Peak, Chad spotted a meaty slab avalanche breaking 4' deep and 150' wide, triggered by a sledder riding nearby.
