Skies are clear, winds are light from the WNW, and 10,000' temps are in the mid 20's. We've had good overnight freezes this week with high temperatures during the day of around 40 degrees at 10,000'. Good corn conditions will exist on E-S-W facing slopes if you can find one that still has snow on it. Trail heads are also melted out, and the snow pack is fading fast in the Abajo Mountains.

High pressure continues with mostly clear skies and warmer temperatures through the end of the week. Expect a few clouds and increasing winds on Friday, ahead of a storm system that will arrive later in the day on Saturday.
