current conditions The Tony Grove Snotel at 8400' reports 39°F and 28" of total snow containing 105% of average SWE (Snow Water Equivalent). It's also 39°F at the 9700' CSI Logan Peak weather station, with west-northwest wind currently blowing around 10 mph. Incessant northwest wind and warmth conspired to make snow surface conditions quite variable, but you still might find some soft and fast recrystallized snow in sheltered terrain. There is more total snow and better coverage in the central and northern Bear River Range and at upper elevations. Shallow early season snow conditions exist, and hitting rocks or stumps is a significant hazard. Travel cautiously and keep your speed down. The Tony Grove Road is not maintained for wheeled travel in the winter. Weak surface snow develops during periods of high pressure. Feathery surface hoar is actually frost growing on the snow surface. |
recent activity No new avalanches were reported in the past week. A natural avalanche cycle occurred at upper elevations during the intense storm last Sunday night (12/3/17). |
weather Strong and persistent high pressure aloft will remain the dominant weather feature across the western states through at least the middle of this week. |
