A new version of the UAC IOS application is now available on the Apple App Store. This version fixes many of the issues that occur when running IOS 13.

The weekend storm delivered a much needed shot of new snow to the mountains. Though only 3" was recorded at Camp Jackson and Buckboard Flat, up to 6" fell up around North Creek Pass. NW winds began to increase yesterday afternoon peaking around midnight with average speeds in the 20 -25 mph range and gusts into the mid 30's. They'll continue to blow today at similar speeds with gusts possibly reaching up into the mid 40's. Skies will be mostly sunny and high temps will be in the lower 20's. Factor in the wind chill and it will feel a bit frigid up there today. Look for more of the same tomorrow with dry conditions and sunny skies for the foreseeable future.

Kevin Dressel was up yesterday and reported that conditions were greatly improved. Read his observation here. He also noticed some sensitivity within the new snow, particularly at upper elevations. With increased winds overnight, expect to find deeper drifts today along upper elevation ridge crests and on the leeward sides of terrain features. These recent wind drifts will be sensitive to the weight of a skier or rider, particularly on north-facing slopes where the underlying snow surface is weak and sugary.
