The Abajo/Blue Mountain avalanche advisory will provide detailed information on the weekends. During the week, general information and a danger rating will be posted.

Skies are mostly clear but with a few high clouds, 10,000' temperatures are in the high 20's, and ridge top winds are mostly light from the SW. Snow conditions are a mixed bag though the dedicated enthusiast can still find something to get excited about. Corn-like snow can be found on SE-W aspects - work the sun for best results and finish up before the snow becomes wet an sloppy - while northerly aspects offer a variety of conditions from wind affected to soft, settled powder.

We remain under a dirty ridge of high pressure with nothing in sight. A cool front sliding by to the north will bring a few high clouds to the area by Saturday.
