Well it looks like we finally broke our offshore flow... just in time to finish the ski season...

Now when they say chance of rain... the sat pics actually look like it...

Temperatures were slightly cooler yesterday but continue to remain a constant 40+ even at tram summit elevations.

For the most part snow conditions remain stabile... we are seeing increasing glide activity on Chop Gulley above the Flume Trail we are also seeing some of the glide cracks on Snowslide Creek above Thane Road continue to expand...

The glide cracks on the Berhands and White paths continue to grow as well. Please continue to avoid walking in the avalanche runout zones in these areas. The glide cracks are merging and becoming more continous. Should a glide avalanche occur it still has the ability to affect the runout zones.

Our temperatures continue to remain warm.

Most of the sunny slope avalanches we have seen remain small. If we should see much in the way of rains there may be greater danger but for the most part conditions are good.

Be aware that cornices in areas may be weak as they are no longer seeing freezing conditions.

Head up to Eaglecrest today to enjoy the end of the year festivities... Its a great chance to see Juneau friends and enjoy a great day in the outdoors.

Once again... here is a link to a complete collection of avalanche papers and presentations from the International Snow Science Workshops...
