bottom line There is a MODERATE danger and storm snow avalanches are possible on any steep slope with significant fresh snow accumulation. Avoid wind drifted snow on smooth slopes with previous snow cover.

current conditions I'm reading over two feet of new snow in the past 24 hours containing around 4 inches of water at the 8400' Tony Grove Snotel..There's 28 inches of total snow this morning with a temperature of 19 degrees. The new snow is sitting dirrectly on the rocks in most places since there wasn't any previously existing snow on the ground earlier in the week. Lack of snow on the ground previously is actually a good thing this time of year. Hopefully it'll pile up quickly and the snow be more solid than it was last year when early snow was subject to strong temperature gradients and became plagued by faceted snow. Travel on the Tony Grove road, which is not maintained for wheeled travel in the winter, was sketchy in a 4x4 yesterday and the road is likely to be impassable today up high with significant additional snowfall overnight.

New snow avalanches are possible today in steep terrain. Heavy snowfall yesterday and overnight has created heightened avalanche conditions at upper elevations. Storm snow avalanches failing within the new snow or on Thursday night's interface are possible in steep terrain. |

Wind drifted heavy new snow on slopes with previous snow cover will continue to be the most suspect. Wind slab avalanches are possible, mainly in smooth areas with preexisting snow, especially in exposed upper elevation terrain.
