Nowcast- A weak storm bumps to our north as a waning Pink Moon peaks through a band of thin clouds drifting through the region early this morning. Southerly winds blowing in the 20's and 30's along the high ridges throw a slight buzz-kill our way while mild temperatures, midway through the graveyard shift, register in the mid 20's. Riding and turning conditions are hit or miss... the snow took on heat yesterday and most sunny slopes are shrink-wrapped, offering a Gore-Tex tearing, breakable heat crust. However, don't get bummed at the trailhead, simply switch from solars to polars, because this is the time of year the Uinta's shine. On a go-anywhere base, upper elevation, wind sheltered, north facing terrain is the ticket where you'll still find cold, settled snow.

Forecast- Early morning clouds thin out and a beautiful is slated with mostly sunny skies, decreasing winds, and temperatures climbing into the mid 30's.

Futurecast- Another weak impulse with little chance of precip crosses the area late tonight but clears in time to produce a stunning Easter Sunday in the mountains. High pressure slides into the area Monday, delivering warm temperatures to kick off the work week.
