Rain, rain, and more rain! Mountain temperatures have just been too warm for much snow to accumulate in the Bear River Range, even at the highest elevations. Today, there is only a few inches of very wet snow on the rocky ground above about 8500' in elevation. Counter-intuitively, this is good news because early season snow often becomes a problem weak layer if it comes in too early.

We'll start posting forecasts once conditions warrant. Until then, pull out your avalanche rescue gear and run a quick check to make sure everything's in working order.
