Forecast Addendum - 12/09/2021 - 07:00am

Submitted by nmeyers on Thu, 12/09/2021 - 5:57am
Recent Observations: 

No avalanches have been observed this season. The only usable snowpack in the forecast area is above treeline on Mount Shasta. Expect about a .5 to 1-mile walk up from Bunny Flat to find continuous snow. Snow depths are holding steady with about 20 inches of snow near treeline. There is still plenty of exposed talus, boulders, trees, stumps and portals.

West/Northwest winds have died off and become light and variable this morning, but expect cold and windy conditions to still prevail above treeline today. Snow surfaces remain mostly smooth, though wind textured, and icy snow will be encountered in exposed areas. Ridges are devoid of snow. Winter recreation in the Castle Lake area, Eddy Mountains and east of Mount Shasta is not possible, yet!

Mountain Weather: 

Winter enthusiasts currently sitting in the green room will be able to leap into the winter theater soon, but a couple more days of prep will be necessary. A few light showers this morning, but hardly wetting. On the big mountain, it's going to be cold and windy today. High pressure will build briefly into Friday, hosting mostly clear skies, dry weather and continued cool temperatures. The main event will begin Saturday afternoon, and I can hardly wait to write about it. Until then, wax'em and gas'em!
