Temperatures have been very close to freezing for several days and well over freezing at tram elevations 3 days ago. Since that time temperatures are below freexing again and are expected to remain that way in mountain starting zones for the next 24+ hours. This has helped the snowpack in place to settle and bond increasing the strength in the snowpack.

We are continuing to see small amounts of snow that add to cornice instability and places snow on trees and rocks. During sunny periods these area often releive themselves.

With not much warming, moisture, or wind in the forecast for today avalanche danger is low at this time.

For those interested there may still be seats available for the University of Alaska Southeasts Avalanche Level 1 Course.
