Current Conditions:
As of 6 AM Wednesday, 2/24/10 we have received a Trace of new snow in the last 24 hrs., and a few flakes are flying on the peaks this morning with some winds gusting to 20.
AVALANCHE hazard is CONSIDERABLE with DANGEROUS conditions in some areas. We have 1+ feet of "sugar" that is now buried by significant, multi- layered wind slabs (2--5'+ ).
Note the death of a skier in the Tetons on Sunday. Our western peaks are also "shaky".
Remember--"Pockets" exist with a higher hazard than the general forecast rating.
Daily snowfall and snow-depth data in this Table are taken from the site locations
(circled numbers 1--6) on the MAP below the Table. (Click the map to enlarge)
