A weak cold front sliding through the region yesterday delivered close to 3" of light, chin tickeling snow. Currently, skies are cloudy, temperatures in the teens and single digits, and southwest winds are blowing 15-25 mph along the high peaks. The weekend storm was good to the eastern front, delivering 18" of Utah, uber-fluff. Today's continued hot ticket- avoid the big, open bowls which are a bit wind jacked and hit low angle, wind sheltered terrain instead... it might not be quite over-the-hood today, but it's pretty darn good none-the-less.

Bo and Andrew were in Chalk Creek Sunday and reported 5 star riding conditions.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, downtown Chris Brown was stomping around Weber Canyon and posted his snowpit findings. In either case, there's a great body of recent travels and insights, along with a string of trip reports can be seen here. (Torrey/Nassetta photo)
Most backcountry observers found shallow wind drifts and sluffing on steep slopes throughout the range. While less widespread and probably not quite as sensitive, look for a similar flavor today.
