Avy Forecast 2.08.XI
Backcountry Avalanche Forecast for Front Range
Issued: 02/08/2011 6:41 AM by John Snook
Special Advisory Statement in Effect through 02/09/2011 9:00 AM
A cold front pushed through the northern zones late Monday night. A period of heavy snow associated with the front dropped 8-12" on the Steamboat zone, and 5-8" across the Front Range, Vail-Summit County, and Aspen zones. Stronger winds during this period transported snow onto north through east to south aspects. Highway crews reported a natural slide running on a south aspect in eastern Summit County. Light snow continues through Tuesday, but much colder temperatures inhibit further accumulations. Recent storm snow and wind are not quite enough to exceed avalanche warning criteria, but areas of HIGH danger continue to exist on lee aspects where natural and human-triggered slides are likely. Backcountry travelers need to exercise caution on Tuesday.
6:45 AM by John Snook: East thru south aspects most suspect. Av danger remains CONSIDERABLE(3) to HIGH(4). Triggered slides likely.
Highlights
Another 6-8" of snow with a period of stronger winds keep the avalanche danger at CONSIDERABLE to HIGH. East through south aspects are most suspect where new snow is sliding easily on the old snow surface. Triggered slides likely in the fresh storm and wind slabs. Much colder temperatures and light snow for Tuesday.

You guys traveling all the way out here for next weekend might be sad its supposed to get warm this next week even chance of rain. Everything will be set up but you can still have fun and support our wyoming economy.
Keep us posted...
We are heading up Friday, Currently watching the forecast and maybe, just maybe we have snow in the forecast for Thursday plus a little colder temps. We are staying at Wycolo so hopefully there is some snow left on the southern end!!!! Anyone have a sled they are willing to rent Sat. or Sun. my bro is making the trip from Castle Rock and is in need of a sled...all they have left are 2-ups....

The road from Centennial to Greenrock was closed all morning. Greenrock was pretty empty today. On the other hand Centennial was packed full of sleds, trucks and trailers.
We ended up just unloading in Centennial and riding the last 7 miles up to Greenrock on the sleds.
The snow they got this last weekend is starting to set up in the more open areas. We did find some pretty good snow in the trees and some of our secret sweet spots that never seem to be touched.

Found some more pretty good snow today on a couple more hidden hills and in the trees. It was pretty windy going over Libby Flats and its supposed to blow again tomorrow.
THere was a lot of trucks up in Greenrock today. The parking lot was full and the road was full all the way down to the next smaller parking lot. There was also trucks along the road for close to 1/2 mile below that second parking lot too.
