A few inches of light snow fell in the Logan Zone yesterday and overnight, enough to refresh the wind hammered snow surface and whiten things up a bit. But, not enough to change the avalanche danger much, and you'll find nice shallow powder, stable snow, and Low avalanche danger in most areas. Exceptions will be on drifted upper elevation slopes where human triggered slab avalanches involving fresh wind drifted snow are possible. Today will be wicked cold and a bit blustery in the mountains, so watch exposed skin on your partners for potential frost bite. You can find good access and pretty good coverage for this time of year, but the snow is still just a bit too shallow to ride in steep terrain or to get aggressive with your throttle.

Temperatures plummeted overnight in the Bear River Range, and it will be quite cold today. The Tony Grove Snotel at 8400' reports 11º F this morning and 4 inches of light new snow with .2" SWE. There's 37"of total snow, containing 87% of average SWE for the date. It's a chilly 4º F at the 9700' CSI Logan Peak weather station, with 25 mph northwest wind, gusting into the upper 30s.

An active weather pattern will continue for Utah through the next week with several storms expected to impact the state through Christmas Day. We'll see mostly sunny skies in the mountains today, with a high temperature at 8500' near 20º F, west wind 10 to 18 mph, and wind chill values as low as -11. Increasing clouds tonight will moderate the cold a bit and temperatures will rise from a low of around 8º F to near 20º F by tomorrow morning. 10 mph westerly wind will veer from the southeast in the evening. Expect mostly cloudy conditions tomorrow and a good chance of snow, a high temperature of 28º F, and southwest winds 15 to 25 mph.
