Human triggered point release and storm snow avalanches remain possible on all aspects at the mid and upper elevations. Potential weak interfaces include a spirited layer of stellar snow crystals running on hard wind crusts, density breaks, and preserved near surface facets prior to last weekend's wind event.

These slides can be problematic in steep, sustained terrain where the sluff and storm snow debris may pile up deeply. There's generally little mystery with these types of avalanches: they break at your feet or sled and respond to cornice drops and ski cuts. Keep an eye on your partners; carry and know how to use your rescue gear.

Danger Trend: Steady to Decreasing

Recent Activity

Ski area control teams noted loose running sluffs and soft storm slabs off upper ridgelines and rockbands with explosives and ski cuts.

We have received several excellent observations over this past week. You can see them here. Please keep sending them in!

Snow and Weather

Skies are mostly cloudy to overcast with light snow falling. Overnight, the Ogden mountains picked up an additional 2-3", pushing storm totals since Monday eve to about 10"/0.70"SWE. Winds are generally light from the southwest; mountain temperatures are in the upper teens to low twenties. Riding conditions are exceptional.
