WHERE TO SKI?  We have discount lift tickets for Snowbird, Powder Mountain, Park City, Sundance, Alta, Brian Head and Wolf Mountain.  Tickets were donated by the ski resorts to help UAC funding.  Click on the Online Store below for details.

We are issuing an avalanche warning for the backcountry in the Logan Area. Heavy snow, strong and sustained west winds, and warming temperatures are creating dangerous avalanche conditions and a High avalanche danger at upper elevations. Natural and human triggered avalanches are likely today. Avoid and stay out from under steep drifted slopes and obvious or historic avalanche paths.....

The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE on steep north through southeast facing slopes that have fresh wind drifted snow. Human triggered avalanches are probable and natural avalanches possible. The danger drops off dramatically out of wind effected terrain.

The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE on steep north through southeast facing slopes that have fresh wind drifted snow. Human triggered avalanches are probable and natural avalanches possible. The danger drops off dramatically out of wind effected terrain.

In the wind zone at upper elevations a Level 3 (CONSIDERABLE) avalanche danger exists for both fresh wind drifts and for deeper slides in terrain where a strong slab overlays a thin, weak snowpack. Human triggered avalanches are likely on steep wind drifted slopes, especially those with an easterly component to their aspect.

At mid elevations a Level 2 (MODERATE) avalanche danger will be found and human triggered avalanches are possible on all steep wind drifted slopes.

A Level 1 (LOW) avalanche danger will be found in lower elevation, wind sheltered terrain.

The Bottom Line for President's Day will be an Avalanche Danger of Considerable for all wind loaded and storm affected slopes greater than 35 degrees across both ranges. Large snow accumulations, strong winds and cold temperatures have combined to create brittle wind slabs.

It would be wise to enjoy the fruits of the storm in wind sheltered locations out of and not underneath avalanche terrain. Stay on low angled slopes and meadows and also out of terrain traps such as steep gullies.
