Last week's storm brought the first measurable snow to the Abajo Mountains. There isn't enough coverage for winter recreation and there is currently very little threat for avalanches. That will likely change this week with an active pattern ahead. Snow depth currently ranges from only a few inches in lower North Creek, and up to a foot at North Creek Pass. Avalanche danger will start to become present in some areas when we see about 18" of snow on the ground. I'll be updating the forecast regularly this week, and will begin issuing danger ratings when conditions warrant. Expect the danger to rise over the course of the week.
