After an extremely dry first half of November, avalanches are generally unlikely. Even so, early season avalanches are possible in steep backcountry terrain, especially on isolated upper elevation slopes with wind drifted snow.
We will provide an update as conditions warrant. Until we get more snow and more data, we are not issuing danger ratings.

Weather and Snow
There is 10 inches of total snow at the Tony Grove Lake Snotel (8400') and 12 inches at USU Doc Daniel Snotel (8300'). A high pressure system will continue to dominate the weather for the first half of the week, but a major change in the weather pattern will occur around the middle of the week as a strong storm system will move into southern Utah. Expect mostly sunny and clear conditions today through Wednesday. Temperatures will warm into the 40s at 8500' today and drop into the mid twenties again tonight. There will be a chance of a bit of snow Tuesday night and Wednesday, but not much is expected to accumulate in the mountains of Northern Utah.
Here are a few things to remember:
  • Hitting rocks and stumps is a real danger. Don't end your season before it starts with an injury from hitting one of these obstacles.
  • Avalanches are a real possibility. It doesn't matter if you are hiking, hunting, skiing, etc., be prepared with rescue gear and a partner.
  • The Tony Grove Road is not maintained for wheeled vehicles in the winter, and it is snowpacked, narrow, and icy in places.
  • Hikers, cross country skiers, snow bikers, dogs, sleds, and 4x4s share the road this time of year, so be nice and keep your speed down around others...
