In sintesi
The avalanche danger is LOW and, avalanche conditions are generally safe. Watch for unstable snow on isolated terrain features. Natural and human-triggered avalanches are unlikely. However, small avalanches can happen in areas of extreme terrain.

Our Week in Review - where we highlight significant snow and avalanche activity from the prior week - has been published.
Snow and Weather
Under clear skies and a cool northwest flow, the mountain temperatures have dropped and provided a decent re-freeze overnight. Westerly winds did pick up yesterday afternoon as a dry cold front crossed into Northern Utah, and these winds peaked overnight with gusts into the 60's mph around 1:00 am this morning. Currently, the mountain temperatures range from 30-40 °F below about 8,000'. Above about 9,000' the temperature is 32 °F or less. Upper elevation winds are blowing from the west-northwest at speeds of 10-20 mph.
We will have another clear and sunny day with much cooler temperatures under the northwest flow. Temperatures will climb into the mid to low 30's at 9,000' later this afternoon. Winds are forecast to remain elevated through the morning hours before tapering off later this afternoon.
If you're after corn today, consider the elevation as your tool to adjust the temperature of the snow surface. If you go too high in elevation, I fear the snow surface with the stronger winds and colder temperatures may not thaw today. Lose some elevation and find where the snow is smooth and becoming soft with the sun.
