The Provo area went through a N cycle today starting around 1pm. Todays snow so far has added about 10"-12" @1.41" H2O bringing the total since Jan 18 to 26"@3.21" H2O. That along with strong SW winds has overloaded the slopes with the weakest structure. Without good vis I was able to see a few significant size 2's and at least on size 3 from the NE Chute of Elk Point. The pic below is the runout. Not as big as it ever goes but pretty large for the first slide there this year. It likely stopped just before reaching the standard trail going into Primrose Cirque.
