Forecast Addendum - 03/30/2022 - 07:00am

Submitted by abeverly on Wed, 03/30/2022 - 5:43am
Recent Observations: 
  • Monday's precipitation brought a little more than an inch of new snow at high elevations.
  • Over the last 24 hours, near treeline temperatures averaged 38.5 ºF. Westerly winds were mostly light. The height of snow at Old Ski Bowl is 44 inches.
  • The best snow surfaces for sliding, riding, and climbing will be in gullies. Moraines and ridges are devoid of snow until 10,000 ft. Above, skiers and climbers have found good conditions below the Red Banks.
  • For climbers, rockfall is being observed in Avalanche Gulch. Wear a helmet and start early if making a summit attempt.
  • It is difficult to find continuous snow out of Bunny Flat up into Avalanche Gulch, though your best bet is to hug the base of Green Butte Ridge until you get above treeline.
  • You can now drive to within 1.5 miles of the North Gate trailhead, but a high-clearance 4x4 is recommended. Clear Creek and Brewer Creek trailheads still have several of miles of snow on them.
  • The season is over for now for the Tri-Forest Snowmobile Trails. It's time to put the snowmachines away for the summer.
Mountain Weather: 

Though high pressure will prevail until Saturday, a weak cold front moving through today will bring some high level clouds and a slight chance of rain and snow showers, but no accumulation is expected. Generally speaking, the mountain should be pretty darn calm today. Near treeline temperatures will reach 39 ºF and drop to 26 tonight.
