Thanks for checking in! We’re tuning up the weather making machine and yeah, it's taking a little time to get all the parts installed (think not only massive wheels, pumps and belts, but also tiny little screws, data loggers, and o-rings) but will issue updates as conditions warrant. Daily forecasts and danger ratings are weather dependent, though often start in early December.

Weather and Snow

Nowcast: High, thin clouds drift over the region while temperatures hover in the mid and upper 30's. Winds blow in the mid 20's along the high ridges. No new snow to report since the mid month storm.

Forecast: Expect a mild day with increasing wind and clouds while temperatures bump into the low 40's.

Futurecast: A decaying Atmospheric River is headed our way and that'll usher in some storminess. And while the Uinta's generally fair rather well with AR's, the buzz-killing reality is, this system might be a little too far north to be a game changer. My hunch is it'll just gonna clip us and deliver colder temperatures with 4"-8" of snow, perhaps closer to 10" for the high country surrounding the North Slope.

Recent Avalanches

No new avalanches observed or reported and there's hardly enough snow to move around on.

Additional Information

Murdock Bowl near Bald Mountain Pass in the image above illustrates current snow cover in the high country... broken up by terrain features and not quite enough snow to move around on just yet, but worth tracking as early snow layers are the building blocks for our winter snowpack.

A few contiguous patches of snow are found on high elevation northerly slopes where the underlying terrain is smooth and somewhat grassy like pictured here around Lofty Lake.
