Huge thanks and a big shout out to two leaders in the industry... (nope I'm not talking about Mark and I :)
More importantly- for the past 15 seasons, Tri-City Performance and Polaris have provided loaner sleds to the UAC and this year was no different. This partnership enables us to perform our field days, get into the same kind of terrain and see the same type of snow our customers are riding, and continue delivering the high caliber forecasts you've come to expect from the Avalanche Center. Bottom line... this partnership helps save lives and for that we are grateful!
A nice blast of snow materialized for the eastern front overnight, delivering a solid 10" of snow with just over inch of water. Yes... slightly heavier than our usual snow densities. It's a bit rugged out there this morning with westerly winds blasting into 50's and 60's, gusting into the 70's along the high ridges. Currently, temperatures are in the mid teens and low 20's. And it's still pretty boney with total snow depths hovering right around two feet, so there's just enough snow to get out and about.
Look for heavy snow this morning, with total accumulations nearing two feet. Winds continue cranking into the 60's before winding down later today. Scattered snow showers linger Sunday with high pressure building next week.
