Ogden

The avalanche danger is LOW, and the snowpack mostly stable. But Low danger doesn’t mean no danger - avalanches can be triggered on isolated terrain features - most likely a steep slope with a recent drift of wind blown snow. As always, avoid being on or beneath any cornices along ridgelines.

Carry and practice with your beacon, shovel and probe. Travel one at a time in steep terrain, keep your partner in sight and be in position to get to them quickly should there be an avalanche.

No recent reports of avalanche activity in the Ogden area mountains. Yesterday's new wind slabs were isolated and not reactive to skis.

Yesterday’s storm - of furious winds and a trace of snow - is moving to the east, and being replaced by strong high pressure. Temperatures are in 20s this morning at most Ogden stations, and will soar into the mid 40s at the 8000’ level, and low 30s along the high ridge lines by afternoon under sunny skies. Winds have shifted back to the southwest, and are averaging 15 mph, with gusts to 20, along the highest ridge lines. Speeds should remain less than 35 mph along the high ridges today, and less than 15 mph at the mid elevations.
