Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Tuesday, March 5, 2013
Heightened avalanche conditions exist, there's a MODERATE (or level 2) danger in the backcountry, and you could trigger wind slab avalanches and/or cornice falls in drifted upper elevation areas. Dangerous persistent slab avalanches are unlikely but remain possible in outlying terrain with poor snow structure and a fresh load of drifted snow or rain. Rapid heating today could increase the danger of the above problems, and solar warming will increase the possibility of moist or wet sluffs involving fresh snow on sunny slopes. Evaluate the snow and terrain carefully, and continue to use safe backcountry travel protocols.
