current conditions The 8400' Tony Grove Snotel reports 55 inches of total snow containing 127% of average water for the date, and its 30 degrees this morning. Touring, boon-docking, and sight-seeing conditions are pretty good despite the lack of fresh powder in the backcountry. Frost crystals or surface hoar formed on Monday's rime-crust at upper elevations in Steep Hollow. (1-9-2015) ****Observational and snowpit video from Burn Bowl on 1-5-2014....HERE

description
Slab avalanches running on buried weak layers are unlikely yet still a possibility in outlying or isolated terrain facing the northern half of the compass, and on previously drifted slopes with poor snow structure steeper than about 30 degrees.

weather It'll be mostly cloudy and warm in the mountains today with a high temperature of 38 degrees at 8500' and moderate southwest wind. Expect cloudy conditions tonight, with a low temperature around 25 degrees and a good chance for a bit of snowfall but little in the way of accumulation. Same thing Sunday, good chance for some snowfall, but not much accumulation. Our best chance for and inch or two of accumulation will come Monday and Monday night, but don't expect very much.
