High clouds kept overnight lows rather warm, but most locations are reporting temperatures right around freezing. Southerly winds are generally light, blowing just 10-15 mph even along the high ridges. It's rugged travel out there especially early in the morning. Lower elevation trailheads and roads are melting fast, and many old tracks are hard and set up.... sorta like curb and gutter. But gain a little elevation, swing around to slopes facing the north half of the compass, and believe it or not, you'll still find soft, settled, creamy snow on a go-anywhere base.

Nice work man! Michael J stomped around Mt. Watson yesterday and snaked two very safe runs in this steep, dramatic terrain, by choosing a route that offered a deep, stable snowpack. More on his travels here.
JG spotted these wet slides Friday during his travels in upper Weber Canyon on steep slopes facing the south half of the compass. JG's always awesome take on the snow conditions can be found here.
