This week's storm took the southerly track, and it delivered some much needed snow to the central and southern mountains. A little new snow also fell in the Bear River Range, and 3 to 5 inches of new snow accumulated on upper elevation slopes. I'm reading 12 inches of total snow at the Tony Grove Lake Snotel (8400') and 16 inches at USU Doc Daniel Snotel (8300'). High pressure will build into the Great Basin for the weekend followed by a more active pattern next week.
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.
