Forecast: Logan Area Mountains - Utah Avalanche Center

Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains

Issued by Toby Weed on
Wednesday morning, November 26, 2025

Several inches of heavy snow fell in upper-elevation terrain last week, capping some wet snow from October still on north-facing slopes above about 8000' in elevation. A few clear, cold nights changed the heavy, wet snow into sugary, faceted grains, and now the snow is quite weak on high slopes facing all directions. This means the next time we get accumulating snow, we'll see increasing potential for avalanches in the backcountry. It's time to get our heads back in the game!

We will start regular avalanche forecasting operations as soon as there is enough snow to cover the rocks, so stay tuned.

Weather and Snow

The wet snow at upper elevations from last week changed dramatically under clear skies and cold nighttime temperatures. A strong temperature gradient is driving rapid sublimation and "drying out" the snow, turning the snow grains into weak sugary facets. Although we found a bit more than a foot of sugary snow in upper-elevation terrain yesterday, there is still nowhere near enough for safe recreation.

*This from this morning's NWS forecast discussion:

Dry and mild conditions are expected to continue through at least Thursday, with the pattern breaking down thereafter. A trough will pass through at least a portion of Utah and southwest Wyoming by the weekend, bringing cooler temperatures and a potential shot of precipitation. Thereafter, an active storm track looks to remain in place through the middle of the week.
