Historically warm temperatures and over a month without snow has seen the snowpack melt away. Snow coverage is limited to only upper elevation northerly aspects. There is some much-needed moisture coming next week, but the damage has already been done for skiing or riding.

Our snowpack peaked early this year, around Feb 23rd as record-breaking temperatures and no snow have affected our snowpack in Northern NM. 

We are going to be putting avalanche center operations on hold with low snow, continued warm temperatures, and no snow in the long-range forecast. We’ve produced a General Avalanche Information Product (click the blue map) with links to weather resources and avalanche considerations to watch out for if you’re getting out. We will update if we do see a significant storm, and hopefully we do get some much-needed moisture in April.
