Snow Report! December 28, 2012
Date posted: 2012/12/29
The storms have continued this week and we receiving nearly two feet across the Northern San Juan’s this week. On 12/27/12 we broke trail into North Pole Hut through about 10″ of new snow. We saw significant windtransport from west to east. Two skiers returned this afternoon from the Burn Hut and reported 8-10” of new snow last night. The skiing will be developing quite well now that we are getting all this new snow, however, the avalanche danger is moderate to considerable so caution must be used. Ski in safe areas, not in dangerous ones. Check out the new point forecasts for each of our winter huts (Last Dollar Hut, North Pole Hut, Blue Lakes Hut, Ridgway Hut, Burn Hut). These are generated with a new weather model being used by the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. We want to give a big thank you to the folks at CAIC who helped us provide this great tool for our hut users!
