Kernpunkte

!! INCREASING AVALANCHE DANGER !!

A WINTER STORM COUPLED WITH OLD SUGARY WEAK SNOW LAYERS WILL PRODUCE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS STARTING FRIDAY LASTING THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

For today, the overall danger rating on the Manti Skyline is MODERATE.

Continue to avoid steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow especially on north through east facing slopes.

Drifts and slabs may break shallow or deeper into the snowpack.

The snowpack contains numerous layers of sugary faceted snow. There are many areas where the wind has formed drifts and slabs on top of this weak snow. These are areas where it is possible to trigger something today.

If the storm delivers like it looks like it could, the danger of triggering something into these Persistent Weak Layers is going to become much more widespread.

I urge you to use caution during and after this storm.

General Announcements

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions: Riding conditions still remain mediocre despite getting some new snow this past week. It is quite chunky under the newer snow. Temperatures are still cold but rebounding. Most stations are around 10˚F this morning. It was a bit breezy from the west on Wednesday which drifted snow in a lot of locations. Wind speeds have actually slowed over the last few hours.

Mountain Weather: We'll see increasing clouds today with the chance of snow this afternoon. Wind from the southwest will most likely increase into the moderate speed category. Temperatures should get into the upper teens today. A decent looking storm starts tonight and we should get a good shot of snow in a southwest flow into Friday. The storm continues and switches more northwest lingering into Saturday. When it's done, we should see around a foot of snow, possibly more.
