Temperatures have been fairly moderate the last two days. Tram summit temperatures were above freezing for nearly 24 hours and have been back below freezing for about 10 hours now. Eaglecrest summit temps stayed cooler at -1C to -2C.

This helps allow the snowpack to settle and bond. The closer temps are to freezing the more rapidly things tend to stabilize.

Winds have also been low to moderate over the last few days with the tram showing winds barely reaching 20 at times as where Eaglecrest saw breif periods of 20+ winds. But most of the time they hovered in the 5-15 range. Winds are expected to remain light today as well.

We have not received any precip in the last 48 hours. Snowpack settlement looks good.

Avalanche danger is LOW at this time. As we go into tonight and tomorrow expect to see precipitation. As this new front starts to stack up new snow look to see danger levels increase.

Be safe out there and enjoy a great day.

There will be a one day FREE avalanche awareness class with companion rescue training held at Eaglecrest on Sunday January 20th from 9-4pm.
