General Comments

The Provo area once again came unglued today, Wednesday the 29th. Heavy snowfall added over 4 inches of water since this morning!

A class 4 avalanche released naturally out of the Finger Chutes area. Reportedly, the dust cloud blew snow and debris into the west end of the Sundance Ski Resort.

UDOT avalanche control workers in Provo Canyon had a busy day doing avalanche mitigation on the north fork road, Provo Canyon and American Fork Canyon.
