Yesterday, ski touring parties reported 4-15 inches of new snow dependent on what the winds have been doing. The overall base is not much deeper than that, being reported at about 20 inches, so heads up! Good snow conditions are out there but expect poor coverage and considerable ground hazard.
Collapsing and "whoompfing" have been noted, indicating unstable snow structures and the potential for avalanches in areas deep enough to produce a slide. Please make conservative decisions in the backcountry.
The road to the Geyser Pass Trailhead has been plowed by San Juan County. Thanks guys. |
