Provo
Lawinengefahr
Kernpunkte
The primary hazard in the Provo mountains is hitting buried rocks, stumps, and deadfall.
As always, risk is inherent in mountain travel and isolated avalanche concerns of loose snow sluffs and isolated soft slabs of wind blown snow may be encountered. Normal Caution is advised.
***HEADS UP - With this next winter storm, we do expect dangerous avalanche conditions to develop over the next several days and well into Thanksgiving.***
Special Announcement
The 17th Annual Utah Snow and Avalanche Workshop (USAW) is scheduled for Saturday December 7th - Information and tickets available here.
Snow and Weather
Skies are mostly clear with temps in the upper teens to low 20s. Winds are generally light from the south. There is only about 6-18" of snow on the ground and low tide conditions exist. Nikki Champion and I went to the UFO Bowls on Friday and our observation is HERE.
That said, the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for tonight through Wednesday that should provide 12-20" of snow. Initial snow/rain line is expected to be around 6500' and dropping after Tuesday eve's cold front.
For today, we'll have increasing clouds, temps warming to the low to mid-30s, and increasing winds from the south.
