Kernpunkte

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

The avalanche danger has bumped up to MODERATE with the addition of today's new snow.

Shallow soft slabs and point release loose snow sluffs could be triggered today.

These probably won't pose too much threat to people but you should be aware that you may get the new snow to move on steep slopes.

    Keep an eye on the new snow today. It may be completely stable but it may be prone to releasing also. It may not have bonded well to the old wind crusts or sun crusts. Loose faceted sugar snow that the new snow landed on may act as a weak layer.

    If you trigger something, the avalanches will be fairly shallow and probably won't cause harm unless you're in steep radical terrain and get pushed into trees or rocks.

    On the other hand, the new snow could be stable. Use small steep test slopes to make cuts on to see if you can get it to crack or move. If it's cracking on your test slopes, avoid bigger steep slopes. If you hit numerous test slopes and nothing moves, the new snow is probably stable.

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions: As of 6am the Manti Skyline has picked up 2 inches of new snow. Temperatures are fairly mild with most stations right around 25˚F. The wind is light to moderate in speed from the west.

Mountain Weather: We'll see mostly cloudy skies today with periods of light snowfall that might add another few inches. Temperatures will bump up slightly then cool into the low 20s during the afternoon. Wind will be from the west northwest and stay in the light to moderate speed catergories. The weather pattern looks fairly active over the next week with numerous periods of snow possible. We should see some light accumulation on Thursday then a little better system Friday into Saturday. All said and done, we could see a foot total by Sunday.
