Skyline Avalanche Advisory

Monday, February 9, 2009

Created at 6:47 am

Forecaster: Bruce Tremper

GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

Big thanks this week to Glen Zumwalt & the boys at Big Pine Motor Sports in Fairview for their ongoing support of the UAC. They provide the sled that allows me to develop this forecast. Thanks!

Also a huge thank you to Steve Cote for his awesome observations and incredible volunteer contributions.

If you see or trigger an avalanche it would do the community good to report it. Your observations help to save the lives of others. The forecast area is large, and due to funding cuts I only have one field day to spend on the Skyline. This means that I can't possibly see it all. I need you to help me, help you. Please share your observations and experiences:

Shoot me an email: grant@utahavalanchecenter.org and or call me on my cell: 406-370-1337. Thanks!

Our third annual Avalanche Center fundraising ride is Saturday February 7th. Click here for more details.

Due to budget cuts we are only able to produce an advisory that is updated each Saturday morning.

Keep in mind that conditions change dramatically and that information may not be relevant for later in the week.

Want to schedule an avalanche awareness talk? Contact me for details.
