Wind chill should see temperatures down to -22 with a top of -4 degrees. Its possible that some lifts will be subject to wind conditions today. It's a requirement to have an avalanche beacon in the backcountry, watch for wind drifts and check at lift stations for gate status. Winds are forecast to progressively drop over the next few days
