Does anyone have any recent beta on the snow in the San Juans??? Particularly in the Rio Grande Pyramid area. Thanks!

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say "A lot".

Considering Wolf Creek got almost 4 feet of snow since last Thursday, Purgatory is reporting 65" of snow total so far, and Silverton...

Both North and South San Juans are currently experiencing "considerable" avalanche conditions.

The Wolf Creek Pass area has experienced quite a bit of avalanche activity. The ski area had to close Knife Ridge when there was an in-bounds slide during operating hours, and then more natural slides again overnight (that terrain has since reopened after significant hazard reduction). Apparently there was a layer of surface hoar before this storm, particularly on northern aspects, and the storm slab (42" deep in this area) has been very reactive at that layer. From what I understand, the US 550 area is equally unstable. I would advise against attempting the Rio Grande Pyramid anytime soon, since the standard approach is north facing and certainly steep enough to slide.

Thanks everyone
