Kernpunkte

A MODERATE DANGER exists for human triggered avalanches 1-3' deep, particularly in steep wind loaded terrain. Human triggered avalanches are possible. Cornices along the ridgelines should also be approached with great caution. These may break off and trigger dangerous avalanches below.

Evaluate snow and terrain carefully.

Wind drifts remain the primary concern in the Provo mountains. They have becoming increasingly stubborn, but not dormant. They are more prominent in the upper elevations but also noted to the lee of exposed mid-elevation ridgelines. They'll be more prominently found on steep north to east to south facing terrain; even cross loaded on some southwest facing slopes. Human triggered avalanches are possible.

Recent Activity

Photos of avalanche activity along Timpanogos and the Cascade ridgeline during the late weeks storm (courtesy UDOT). These were upper elevation wind loaded terrain; some perhaps triggered by natural cornice fall.

Snow totals from late week are 4-6" with 1.15" snow-water-equivalent.
