Ogden
Pericolo valanghe
In sintesi
The primary hazard in the Ogden mountains is hitting buried rocks, stumps, and deadfall.
As always, risk is inherent in mountain travel and isolated avalanche concerns of loose snow sluffs and isolated soft slabs of wind blown snow may be encountered. Normal Caution is advised.
***HEADS UP - With this next winter storm, we do expect dangerous avalanche conditions to develop in the upper elevations over the next several days and well into Thanksgiving.***
Special Announcement
The 17th Annual Utah Snow and Avalanche Workshop (USAW) is scheduled for Saturday December 7th - Information and tickets available here.

Snow and Weather
The Ogden area mountains picked up generally 3-6" of new snow with upwards of 0.5" of snow water equivalent. There is still only about 12-20" of snow on the ground in the highest terrain. Currently, skies are clear, temps are in the teens, and winds are light. We do have a significant storm on tap. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning starting tonight through Wednesday that should provide upwards of 10-16" of snow in favored areas, with an initial rain/snow line at 6500'.
For today, we'll have increasing clouds, temps warming to the low to mid-30s, and increasing winds from the south.
