Reports from 12/21/2007 of large natural and explosive triggered avalanches. These hard slab avalanches were up to 8' deep failing on faceted snow on primarily northerly facing aspects. The natural cycle was widespread within the new storm snow with a note that there were numerous soft slab avalanches failing on west facing slopes. Notes from explosive triggered avalanches:
Elevations: Ogden above 8,500', Park City above 9,000', SLC above approx 9,500'. Also sympathetics, stepdowns and repeaters.
