Skies are clear and 10,000' temperatures are in the teens. Southwest winds have backed off into the 15-20 mph range after howling in the 30's for most of the night. Last night's cold temperatures provided a solid refreeze, and snow conditions today will be a mix of frozen hard, and wind scoured surfaces.
The snow is going fast in the Abajos and on Friday I took a road tour round the range. South facing slopes are mostly dry ground all the way to the peaks, and many SE and SW aspects are melted out as well. Ribbons of skiable snow remain on east facing aspects above 9000', and north facing snow is hanging in there though conditions are a marginal mixed bag on those slopes. Traiheads are melted out and there is 13" on the ground at Camp Jackson and 22" at Buckboard Flat.
