Hello, this is Bruce Tremper, filling in for Eric Trenbeath while he's away for the next 10 days.
It's cloudy and very warm this morning with temperatures at Geyser Pass near freezing. The wind on Pre Laurel Peak have picked up and are blowing 25, gusting to 30 from the southwest. It has not started snowing yet but there is dense, mountains snow falling in northern Utah and it should be here later in the afternoon and evening. The Geyser Pass road is not plowed but it's packed down with vehicle traffic and it's very passable with 4x4 and good tires.
Here's a link to a video I created on Thursday of the current snowpack conditions:

Conditions have rapidly changed from this:

No significant avalanche activity since about Sunday when some wind slabs released after the last bit of snow and wind last weekend. For instance a significant slab released off the shoulder of Tuk-No that Eric reported on the Tuesday update.
