Small avalanches of wind drifted snow are possible on north facing slopes up high where there is some preexisting snow covering up the rocks and smoothing out the terrain. There is barely enough snow on some smooth slopes to ski or ride on, and encounters with shallowly buried rocks or down trees in the early season have led to many season-ending injuries.

• Remember to go one at a time in avalanche terrain, while the rest of your party watches from a safe area.
• Now is a good time to check your avalanche rescue equipment, change the batteries on your beacons, and practice with your backcountry partners.

We will update this forecast as conditions warrant.

This week's storm delivered several inches of dense snow to upper elevations of the Bear River Range, with 9" of new snow recorded at the 8400' Tony Grove Lake Snotel. This caps mostly bare ground and a foot or less of October snow on north facing slopes at upper elevations. More snow is expected today, with drifting from gusty west winds and 2 to 4 inches of accumulation possible at upper elevations.
