Weather

Bluebird day, ambient temp 27F. Light west winds.

Snowpack

South slopes have spotty coverage, with rollerballs and broken snow coverage. North slopes hold 1-1.5 feet of snow, due to terrain character, snowcover in these areas is also broken. Gullies that may interfere more seriously with the roadway appear to have sluffed during last event.

Avalanche

A few small sluffs may have reached the white line during the Christmas storm. Several steep areas terminate right at roadside in this canyon, so even small sluffs easily accomplish this. Estimate piles to be around 1-2' at roadside.
