The danger will rise to Moderate for wet avalanches on the steep sunlight terrain today. Natural and human triggered wet loose avalanches are probable. Isolated pockets of lingering shallow new snow avalanches are also possible in steep terrain, primarily in the upper elevations.

Wet loose avalanches can be expected with direct sun and daytime warming. Natural and human triggered wet sluffs are likely on the steeper slopes and should leave decent debris piles, running far on the slick underlying crusts. When the snow becomes damp and/or you start to see rollerballs and pinwheels, it's time to head to a cooler aspect or low angle terrain. These wet sluffs generally move slowly, but they pile up like concrete. Don't take them for granted.

Shallow sluffs and soft slab avalanches may still be possible in the highest elevations. Remember that the new snow may run fast and far on the slick underlying crusts. These are manageable for experienced riders but the debris piles may be enough to bury a person beneath continuously steep terrain.

Recent Activity

Ski area control teams triggered 3-5" new snow avalanches running on the old crusts yesterday.

Snow and Weather

Skies are mostly clear this morning with generally light winds from the northwest. Along the highest elevations of the Ogden skyline, winds are blowing 20mph with gusts to 25. Temperatures are in the teens.

Storm totals are 3-4" of about 6-7% density and even these few inches will dramatically improve skiing and riding conditions.

For today, we'll have clear skies, light northwest wind and temperatures warming to the mid to low 20s. We'll probably see a few clouds tonight into tomorrow with a weak system pushing through but then a return to sunny skies by mid to late week. Possible storm for next weekend; stay tuned.
