    We have a weak snowpack structure across the entire Manti Skyline. The base consists of loose sugary facets from December. Numerous layers of new snow and strong wind overloaded the weak base and there was a significant avalanche cycle.

    At this point, we are probably past the most sensitive period but the snowpack remains unstable. Our group experienced about 10 large collapses during our travels on Thursday. The type where you feel the snow drop underneath you. Riders in Ephraim Canyon reports numerous collapses as well. This is a HUGE red flag that definitivly demonstrates how unstable the snow remains. In simple terms, human triggered avalanches are still very likely.

    All you can do is avoid the steep terrain until we see improvement in the snowpack stability. I'll be keeping you posted as to how this progresses.

Recent Activity

A tour of the canyons south of Miller Flat on Thursday revealed more large avalanches from the last cycle. It was really an impressive and unprecedented event and I'll have more avalanches documented today. One of the most notable slides was a monster in Rolfson Canyon that was triggered by snowmobilers from a distance. MORE DETAILS HERE

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions: The wind has finally calmed down and is as slow as it's been in over a week from the west. Temperatures have been pretty steady staying in the mid 20s. Riding conditions are not bad. You'll find lots of areas with dense soft snow. You'll also find areas of stout wind crusts. Mountain Weather: It's going to be pretty warm today with high temperatures getting into the mid 30s. Wind should remain fairly light from the west southwest. We'll see scattered high clouds. Unsettled weather starting Saturday night will bring periods of light snowfall over the next week. As of now it looks like snow on Saturday night, Sunday night and another chance about mid week. None of these impulses are going to produce much more than a few inches each.
