Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Saturday, December 17, 2016
Dangerous and complex avalanche conditions exist in the Logan Area backcountry, with large and potentially deadly human-triggered avalanches likely on upper elevation slopes steeper than about 30 degrees.
- Today there are many avalanche problems to beware of including storm snow, cornice fall, and wind slab avalanches, as well as persistent slabs breaking into old snow and deep slabs failing near the ground.
- You should stay off of and out from under steep slopes and avoid avalanche runout zones.
- Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route-finding and conservative decision making will be essential for safe travel in the backcountry this weekend.
