Weather and Snow
Current Conditions: Tuesday was a gorgeous spring day with mild temperatures and clear skies. The snow conditions consist of a frozen snow surface that warms and softens during the day then freezes again at night. The due north upper elevation slopes still hold dry dense soft cold snow. Overnight temperatures were in the mid to upper 20s and west wind is calm to light.
Mountain Weather: We have another spectacular day in store with plenty of sun and temperatures reaching into the low 40s. The wind will remain fairly light during the day today and should shift around to the east later on. It will kind a bit strong tonight ahead of a weather disturbance that will move through Thursday possibly bringing a few inches of snow.
