Issued by Toby Weed on
Saturday morning, November 14, 2026

Temperatures are hovering around freezing in the mountains this morning, and snow is falling at upper elevations in the Bear River Range. Yesterday, we found mostly bare ground with only a couple inches of moist old snow lingering in shady terrain above about 8500' in elevation.

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.

Weather and Snow

Lack of old weak snow on the ground in the Bear River Range is good news because the incoming snow is falling on bare ground or only a couple inches of very wet October snow in shady upper elevation terrain. In contrast, the early season snow on the ground at upper elevations In the Wasatch Range, subjected to low angled sun and cold November temperatures, is likely to become a problem persistent weak layer as snow piles up on it in coming days.

Additional Information

Now is a great time to dust off the rescue gear, inspect, change batteries, update firmware, and practice simple companion rescue with your backcountry partners.
