current conditions The Tony Grove Snotel at 8400' reports 39 degrees and there's 97 inches of total snow, with 135% of average water content for the date. It's 35 degrees at the 9700' CSI Logan Peak weather station, and I'm currently reading west-northwest winds averaging around 15 mph. Very warm temperatures are causing cornices to sag and buckle, and some are failing in the heat of midday, like this one I spied yesterday afternoon in the Central Wellsville Range. 4-10-2014

recent activity Locally: On Monday, a snowboarder unintentionally triggered and was able to ride off of a shallow wind slab on the north face of Millville Peak. An observer reported a new significant natural wet avalanche in lower Spring Hollow Thursday night, and I noticed some fresh natural activity Thursday and more yesterday afternoon in the Wellsville Range Visit our Backcountry Observations Page for details on the season's activity. A large natural wet avalanche from the warm spell in North Hells Canyon in the Wellsville Mountain Wilderness. The avalanche was triggered by cornice-fall and ran around 2000 vertical feet. 4-11-2014.

description
Avoid and stay out from under large and overhanging cornices along major ridge-lines, which are likely to break further back than you expect and could trigger avalanches on slopes below. It's especially important to stay out from under these guys during the heat of the day, when they sag and buckle, and more will likely naturally fail and calve off in large chunks.

weather Should see increasing clouds, with 9000' high temperatures topping out in the mid-forties, moderate westerly winds, some snow showers and a chance of thunder this afternoon. Mountain temperatures should drop into the mid twenties overnight, west winds pushing 20 mph on the ridges, snow showers likely, and thunder possible. Less than an inch of accumulation is forecast, but a bit may stick on Sunday as snow showers continue, winds intensify, and temperatures remain more reasonable .
