Ogden

The overall avalanche danger is LOW. Despite the generally safe conditions, some amount of avalanche danger always exists: Know that isolated wind drifts and loose snow sluffs remain possible in steep terrain.

Heads Up: Tomorrow's storm will be a game changer. The avalanche danger may reach HIGH in the coming days.

Sluffing and a few isolated very small soft slabs noted in the steepest terrain yesterday.

Skies appear overcast with a thick cloud deck blanketing the low and mid-elevations. It may be that Mt Ogden, James Peak, Ben Lomond and Willard Peak are poking out of the cloud deck and into clear skies above. Temperatures are inverted with temps in the teens up high, the single digits down low. Winds are light from the northwest. Skiing and riding conditions remain excellent in the sheltered terrain but somewhat variable and wind damaged up high (Doug Wewer observation).

A strong and potent winter storm arrives tonight through Thursday that'll bring 1-2' of snow, strong northwest winds and significantly elevate the avalanche danger. Time to recalibrate the mindset.
