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 clearing, northwest winds are light and it's 32 degrees at 9000'. An inch or two of snow has fallen overnight. Traditionally a wet month, March has been tough on our snowpack and we are currently at 74% of normal. Most south facing slopes are dry ground all the way up to the tops of the peaks, and patches of ground are showing on east and west facing slopes as well. Trail heads are melted out, and access for motorized users is difficult.

Skies are clearing and it should be a nice day up in the mountains. High temperatures at 10,000' will be in the upper 30's, and northwest winds will be light. The next system moves into our area on Monday.
