Save the date and bring a date! Please join me at Backcountry HQ in Park City, this Thursday March 12th, beginning at 6:30. I'll lead an interactive discussion on current Wasatch snowpack conditions, a recap of this season’s close calls and accidents, how to stay on the right side of the fracture line, and predictions for the rest of the season. It's a free gig, but space is limited and registration is required. Click here to reserve a space.

Clouds thickened overnight and light snow is falling with just an inch or two stacking up since about 10:00 last night. Southwesterly winds make more of a splash and they're cranking 30-60 mph along the high peaks. Currently, temperatures register in the low to mid 20's. Riding and turning conditions improved slightly overnight, but remain a bit hit or miss and are generally scratchy underfoot. Might be the kinda day to get some chores done, parlay the extra hour we gained at 2:00 AM, set your sights on a dusk patrol, and hit the snow late in the day.

Scattered snow showers continue through the day with a few more inches of snow piling up. High temperatures remain mild and in the upper 20's.Winds are gonna be a nuisance, humming along in the 40's and 50's near the high ridges.

Expect another shot of moisture late tonight into Monday with clearing weather on tap for Tuesday into most of the upcoming week.
