I'd like to thank our incredible community for your support of the 2022 Spring Campaign. We raised $75,000 in two weeks to help grow our avalanche forecasting program. Thank You!
NOWCAST-
A band of thick clouds brought a fully electric show to the mountains overnight delivering a few inches of snow along with west-southwest winds cranking in the 50's and 60's along the high ridges. Close to the traillheads temperatures register in the low 30's whilst near the high peaks it's slightly cooler and in the mid 20's. In either case... it's a rugged start to the day. Best to get your chores done today, allow some snow to stack up, and get after it tomorrow when the mountains offer a less agro mosh pit and more user friendly setlist.
FORECAST-
Cloudy skies produce a good shot of snow, especially early this morning when we see an additional 2"-4" of snow quickly stack up right around sunrise. Winds shift to the west and northwest and remain obnoxious, blowing in the 40's and 50's as the bulk of an upstream cold front slides through the region. Winds taper off as the day wares on, but temperatures don't vary much from where we're at this morning and dip into the teens under clearing skies overnight.
FUTURECAST-
Clear skies with warming temperatures and light winds are on tap for midweek with the work week rounding out in that same spirit. But wait... there's more! A good looking shot of snow for early next week is worth keeping an eye on and scheduling your work week around... I'll keep ya updated as things materialize.
Looking down the barrel of Notch Mountain... recently Michael J had a blast on a big slope, harvesting a bounty of corn and has a great trip report found
