Forecast for the Provo Area Mountains

Trent Meisenheimer
Issued by Trent Meisenheimer on
Saturday morning, April 5, 2025
This morning the avalanche danger is LOW and human-triggered avalanches are unlikely. However, the avalanche danger will likely rise to MODERATE on slopes facing east, southeast, south, southwest, and west at the mid and upper elevations for wet-snow avalanches. Remember, if the snow is becoming damp or unsupportable, it's time to head home or change to a cooler aspect.

Description
It's been a cold week with dry cold snow on all aspects and elevations. Today, we will see plenty of strong sunshine and warming temperatures hitting the cold dry snow for the first time. I am unsure just how quick or reactive this cold snow will become.
Plan your exits today and remember the aspects above you can be cooking in the sun while you're in the shade below. Wet snow avalanches can run long distances and pile up deeply in gullies and other terrain traps.
Video (Wares): This was from April 2nd. However, it demonstrates the dangers of wet snow.
