The National Weather Service Forecasts-

TODAY...SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS. SNOW ACCUMULATION TO 1 INCH. HIGHS AROUND 34. EAST WIND 10 MPH.

Precip volumes have remained low for the last few days. We have received roughly 18cm(about 7\" after taking settlement into consideration) of new snow over the last 48 hours.

This snow came in at near freezing temperatures which tends to help with rapid settlement and bonding. Temperatures have also fallen very slightly during that time.

Winds have been light to moderate from 10-20 with gusting up to 25mph out of our traditional SSE.

Todays forecast calls for light snow showers during the day drying out into the evening and overnight during a cooling trend. This should allow for continued settlement and improving snow conditions over the next 24 hours.

With 7+\" of new snow and light wind loading over the last 48 hours avalanche danger is MODERATE today and slowly falling into tomorrow.

Natural avalanches unlikely, potentially destructive avalanches unlikely to come near or reach developed areas.

Human triggered avalanches remain possible in isolated areas. Watch for windloaded slopes near summit and ridgeline. Be aware of steep convex rolls on unsupported slopes.

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