- <p>I wonder some times with all the wind in Ogden if our snow is just sublimated or it makes the windslabs so hard they are not easily triggered by skiers. But yes lot of wind again today.</p>
Honestly not much to note today for avalanche conditions. I would guess that on more open ridges with big fetches and deposit zones you might have seen more wind slab formation but on the North end of Snowbasin I was unable to find much. On and off snowfall tonight into tomorrow really leaves not much for storm slab. I expect most of the hazard to be in wind effected areas. These were very easy to spot today. Not in the usual places though so that could catch people off guard.

- <p>I was able to pop out a couple of very small pockets in the 50x50' size. These were D1.5 at most and up to 2' deep. Not really a ton of wind slab characteristics on the high ridges mainly at mid elevation SE aspects. </p> <p>No storm slab to speak of today with the new snow not being well connected to due to so much wind striping. </p>
Ok riding conditions. In some areas the new snow had all blown away.
