NOWCAST-
Yesterday's North Slope-centric storm stacked up 6"-8" of low density snow, while the south half of the range collected half that amount. Cold air spilled into the region overnight, skies cleared, and temperatures dropped like a rock, crashing into the teens and single digits. Northwest winds blow 20-30 mph near the high peaks creating a windchill that registers to -22 degrees. Riding and turning conditions could be somewhat rugged, but I bet with a little hunting, you can find soft, settled snow on mid and low elevation, wind sheltered slopes.
FORECAST-
Look for mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing into the low 30's. Northwesterly winds are gonna be obnoxious, blowing in the 30's near the high peaks, but decrease as the day wares on. Overnight lows dip into the teens.
FUTURECAST-
Clear skies with warming temperatures and light winds round out the work week. A more stormy pattern is expected to develop by late in the weekend, persisting through much of the upcoming week... I'll keep ya updated as things materialize.
Yesterday's winds nuked, blowing from nearly every direction, torching a lot of big terrain throughout the range. I asked the owner of Inspired Summit Adventures, the ever intrepid Shaun Raskin... "did the snow get torched?" And she says... "like a Portobello in a Traeger". Shaun is seen in the image above, toughing it out and turning the rotisserie yesterday in Gods Living Room, a high alpine jewel near Bald Mountain.
