Nowcast - A cold spring morning kicks off with trailhead temperatures dipping into the teens °F whilst upper elevation stations report temperatures in the single digits. We scraped up a little snow overnight with 1-3" at our highest elevations near the Mirror Lake Corridor and Central Mountains, and closer to 1" in peripheral terrain. The real story is the winds blasting along the high peaks overnight in the strong category, averaging 40-50 MPH, and gusting into the 60's and 70's.

Forecast -Expect more of the same throughout the day with strong winds from the northwest gusting into the extreme category, up to 70 MPH along the high, exposed ridges. Skies are partially covered, and look to open up more as the day rolls into the afternoon.

Futurecast - We stay cool through tomorrow, but historically warm weather enters the region on its heels. Our snowpack will surely take a hit and we will keep you in the loop with what that looks like over the coming days.

Travel Conditions - The change of seasons officially starts when the blacktop appears and our typical staging areas are no more. North and south side gates are open on HW150, plowed from the north to Whitney and from the south to Spring Canyon, and of course SR35 remains open over the pass. Although its grim from down low and riding is spotty and hard to find, soft snow is out there for the taking, Solars are melted out up to 9,000' and many windward slopes are scoured and worked to the dirt. But te best riding exists above 10,500' at and above treeline, in protected and sheltered areas where the snow has not been hammered by the elements -- With a little work and some knowing where your going you will find it!A weathery Saturday provided us with an opportunity to get out for a Ride & Refresh with a crew of local rippers from the region. Thanks to UAC Staff McKinley & Chad, and Forecaster Nikki Champion for putting together a valuable day -- If you and your riding crew want to get out with us for some riding and educational refreshing, reach out to us!It is becoming hard to find and harder to get to, but don't let that steal your thunder. Up high there is still soft snow above 10,500' providing some super surfy, predictable, and adventurous riding conditions.
