Weather and Snow
Current Conditions: A few more inches of snow fell overnight. Temperatures are in the low 20s and the wind has been light and variable. The snowpack is frozen up decently due to a number of relatively cold days.
Mountain Weather: We'll see periods of snow today which should add another 4 inches or so. West southwest wind looks like it will remain light to moderate in speed. High temperatures will be in the mid 20s. Saturday looks unsettled as well with the chance for snow. Sunday looks like the nicest day of the weekend then it looks like we could see some more snow on Monday.

Description
I'm not expecting much in the line of avalanches today unless the snow stacks up faster and deeper than anticipated. Avoid steep slopes if we start to see a couple of hours with very intense snowfall. In general, the snowpack is mostly stable and if we only see 2 to 4 inches of snow as expected, we shouldn't see much avalanche danger.
