Forecaster: Drew Hardesty LINKS: -Danger scale- -Encyclopedia- -Text only- CURRENT CONDITIONS >>> LINKS TO MORE INFO: NWS SNOW PAGESNOTEL MAP
We have partly cloudy skies this morning with light west to southwesterly winds. Overnight lows dropped to the low to mid-30s above 9000 and the upper 30s to low 40s below that. Conditions are excellent for long travel in the mountains, though with todays increasing winds, clouds, and convective instability, it may not be textbook corn skiing and riding.

Danger over the next 10 hrs Last weeks new snow instabilities are long gone and folks seem to be on the good early morning routine for the spring diurnal cycle. Keep up the good work by being off the overheated slopes as the day progresses.
