Weather and Snow
Current Conditions
Tuesday's cold front that moved through actually produced measurable amounts of snow. Up to 2 inches of new snow fell in the higher terrain. The wind has been light from a northerly direction and it's cold with overnight readings in the low teens and single digits.
Mountain Weather
It looks like high pressure builds back in through the weekend with plenty of sun, ridgeline high temperatures in the low to mid 20s and gradually warming through the weekend. North wind should increase a bit on Thursday and get a little breezy along the peaks. Otherwise, it looks pretty light through the weekend.

Description
The couple of inches of new snow won't affect avalanche conditions much. The wind was light so any drifting will be minimal. The new snow may be prone to sluffing and may also entrain loose snow from the old snow surface.
