Recent Observations:
When snow falls again, it will fall onto various slick and firm bed surfaces. During a tour near Gray Butte yesterday, I encountered highly variable surface conditions, some of which were more difficult than others. Forested areas presented the main crux, with many changing obstacles to navigate. Open exposed southerly slopes were the most friendly. Below and near treeline, winds were calm with notably warmer temperatures.

Mountain Weather:
Another brisk morning is upon us with temperatures looking to rebound into the upper 30s at 6,000 feet. Over the next 24 hours winds will shift from northwest to south-southwest with the approach of this low-pressure system. High elevation clouds will build overhead in tow of the next round of storm systems, the first of which will make landfall late Thursday. High winds around valley floors look to be associated with the start of this storm.
