June 10, 2010 Update---Wow !! - -What a LONG, wet spring!! We have received snow and rain for the last 6
weeks. Over 5" of moisture has fallen in the valleys and over 10" of water equivalent has fallen above 8,000
feet. There is still approx. 3 feet of snow at Black Bear, with much more at higher elevations! However--we
are still well below (80%) normal precipitation for the water year.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN WEATHER OR AVALANCHE CONDITIONS OCCUR. WE WILL LEAVE THE PAGES ON-
