Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Saturday morning, March 2, 2013
Mild temperatures and solar warming will cause heightened avalanche conditions and a MODERATE (or level 2) danger in the backcountry today. Loose wet avalanches will become likely on steep sunny slopes and at lower elevations where the snow is saturated and soft. The warmth will also cause an increased danger of dangerous persistent slab avalanches in outlying terrain with poor snow structure, as well as increased wind slab and cornice fall potential. Evaluate the snow and terrain carefully, avoid and stay out from under steep slopes with saturated snow, and continue to use safe backcountry travel protocols.
