Weather

2-4" of new snow on the Williams Fork Road with significant snow transport. Limited visibly above treeline.

Snowpack

Areas below 9,000ft help very little snow. I noticed most of the sage brush and downed trees still showing. Southerly aspects held very little if any snow, while more northerly facing terrain held a little bit more. Areas above 9,000ft had about 1-2ft of snow off the road. Still not a lot of snow in this area. Party cloudy skies blocked most of my view of anything near or above treeline.

Avalanche

Small avalanches on steep northeast road cuts along the west side of Ute Pass.
