Conditions have taken quite a turn and it's hard to believe we were skiing powder a week ago. The recent heat wave has made a bit of a mess out of things. Without a strong sun today, the threat of wet avalanche activity will be tempered somewhat, but three consecutive nights without a re-freeze have left the snowpack in a volatile, and somewhat unpredictable state. If the threat of avalanches isn't enough to keep you off of steep slopes, then maybe generally poor conditions will. Personally, I'm going to wait until the weekend when a couple nights with a solid re-freeze, and favorable weather brings a chance for improved conditions.
