Kernpunkte

PEOPLE CAN EASILY TRIGGER AVALANCHES AGAIN TODAY!!

The avalanche danger remains HIGH on the Manti Skyline.

Avalanches can be triggered remotely from flat terrain, even without being on a slope.

The only way to stay safe is to stay off slopes steeper than 30 degrees and make sure you are not underneath steep slopes either.

    It is very simple right now. Old, weak snow from the January dry spell has now been buried and is volatile. It will remain volatile for some time to come. Any steep slope on the north half of the compass is suspect. If you choose to get onto steep slopes, you risk losing your life.

    Keep in mind that since you can trigger avalanches from a distance, you also need to avoid being below steep slopes. At this time, you can be in flat terrain below a steep slope, and it could avalanche and bury you.

Recent Activity

Numerous snowmobile and skier triggered avalanches were reported on Saturday. Many of these were triggered from a distance where the riders were not on steep slopes.

Photo below: Devon Krebs - Snowmobilers in the south fork of Lake Canyon triggered an avalanche from the flats below the slope.

Photo below: Dustin Carlson - After numerous riders had already climbed this steep slope, someone triggered an avalanche taking out many of the recent tracks. Spring Creek near the kite parking lot at the top of Fairview Canyon.

Snow and Weather

General Conditions: Riding conditions on Saturday were as good as they've been all winter. That's not saying much. Many people noted how it feels like there's no base below the new snow. That's because it's all loose, faceted snow below the new snow. Overnight temperatures were in the teens and the wind has been light from the south.

Mountain Weather: It looks like another nice day is shaping up for today. We'll see warmer temperatures with highs near 30°F. There will be a few more clouds than on Saturday. Wind will be light to moderate from the southwest. The next chance for snow is Tuesday night into Wednesday. There's not great agreement with models yet on how this one will play out.
