In sintesi

The overall avalanche danger is LOW to MODERATE. The new snow will slightly increase the avalanche danger today but not a whole lot unless we get more snow than anticipated. Places where a person could trigger an avalanche are upper elevations above about 9000' on slopes that face northwest, north and northeast that have a slope angle approaching 40 degrees.

    The avalanche accident in the Logan mountains was caused by a layer of weak sugary snow near the ground. The Skyline has that same weak sugary layer on upper elevation northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. This layer has produced avalanches earlier in the weak and could cause problems yet in the future. Don't trust it. I'd continue to avoid the high elevation STEEP northerly facing slopes for right now.

There was a close call in the Logan area mountains on Saturday where two riders were caught in an avalanche. Once was partialy buried. Both ended up ok. DETAILS HERE.

The partially buried rider's had is sticking up in the photo below.

Snow and Weather

Temperatures remain mild this morning with many higher elevation stations just dropping below freezing. The wind is from the west southwest and is moderate in speed with a few stronger gusts at the highest locations.

A couple of inches of snow accumulated in the last few hours. The rain/snow level is probably somewhere around 7500'.

We should see periods of snow today. I'm expecting about another 4 inches or so. The temperature will gradually drop into the low 20s this afternoon. Wind will shift more northwest and gradually decrease.
