current conditions The Tony Grove Snotel at 8400' reports 6 inches of settled new snow in the last 24 hours, containing .7 inches of water. There's 118 inches of total snow, with 135% of average water content for the date. It's only 12 degrees at the 9700' CSI Logan Peak weather station, and I'm currently reading 10 mph west-southwest winds. You'll find nice powder riding across the zone, but also dangerous avalanche conditions on some steep slopes with significant deposits of new and drifted snow.

Avalanches could step down to or just below dusty warm snow that was on the surface for during the Mid-March warm spell. In many cases, this interface between last week's snow and the older March melt-freeze snow appears weak, with the dusty layer at or perhaps just above a potential bed surface. In some cases, a thin layer consisting of small-grained sugary facets likely developed due to the strong temperature gradient right at this interface. Avalanches including Thursday's and the weekend's snow could be 1 to 2 feet deep, and they could be fairly wide, failing as well connected slabs on some slopes.

It's not supposed to get too warm today, but you have to suspect seasonal warming this time of year anytime there is significant fresh snow. It won't take much warming to dampen the new snow, and as it is initially warmed, loose wet avalanches will become likely in steep terrain. Natural avalanches are also possible with seasonal warming, as the fresh snow becomes damp and more cohesive. If the sun peaks out from behind cloud-cover, the snow could go from nice powder to a cohesive and volatile moist layer almost instantly.
