Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Wednesday morning, February 5, 2014
Heightened avalanche conditions exist, and there is a Level 2 or MODERATE danger on many slopes in the backcountry. Any increase in winds could create more dangerous conditions, and pockets with a CONSIDERABLE or Level 3 danger may develop on drifted upper elevation slopes. You could trigger fresh wind slab avalanches up to 2 feet deep in steep drifted terrain. Dangerous persistent slab avalanches stepping down into weak faceted old snow are possible in some areas, and in some cases might be triggered remotely, from a distance, or the flats below steep slopes. Mostly manageable sluffs and shallow soft slabs remain likely in steep terrain with significant recent accumulations. Evaluate the snow and terrain carefully, and continue to avoid steep drifted slopes.
