In sintesi

Today's avalanche issues are isolated to high elevation terrain facing the north half of the compass and you'd really have to go out of your way to trigger a slide today. But remember... even a small avalanche this time of year will reveal a myriad of season ending obstacles. So... if you're hiking, hunting, snowshoeing or out for a high elevation peak bagging circuit you'll want to look for and avoid any steep, wind drifted slope.

    Ted was stomping around along the Mirror Lake highway yesterday and posted this great overview.

    Fresh drifts along the highest ridges are about the only avalanche concern these days. The good news is... you'd really have to go out of your way to get into trouble because they're isolated to the highest terrain. In addition, today's wind slabs are easy to detect by their fat, round, and often chalky looking appearance. The bad news is... even a small wind drift can easily knock you off your feet and take you for a nasty ride through rocks, deadfall, or stumps.

    And remember- just 'cause you can see it from the road doesn't means it's good to go. Our high mountain passes dump us off in avalanche terrain. I think about early season roadside attractions like Murdock Bowl off the Mirror Lake Highway or Wolf Creek Bowl near highway 35 and Wolf Creek Pass. Easy grabs... right? Even though it might not seem like there's enough snow to avalanche, today you'll want to avoid any steep, wind drifted slope.

Snow and Weather

NOWCAST-

Tuesday night's storm blossomed over the mountains, delivering 10" of medium density snow to the high country. This morning, skies are mostly cloudy and temperatures register in the upper teens and low 20's. West and southwest winds blasted into the 50's late yesterday, but are just starting to calm down and currently blow in the 20's. And while the eastern front looks white from far... it's far from white, but looking more hopeful with about 70 cm on the ground at the highest elevations.

FORECAST-

Expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures warming into the upper 20's. West and northwest winds are gonna be a nuisance. blowing in the 30's and 40's along the high ridges as a weak storm grazes northern Utah. In addition, we might see a scattered snow shower or two.

FUTURECAST-

Quiet weather and warm temperatures are on tap to round out the work week.
