Forecast for the Ogden Area Mountains

Drew Hardesty
Issued by Drew Hardesty on
Monday morning, February 10, 2025
The avalanche danger is MODERATE on many mid and upper-elevation steep slopes for both loose snow avalanches and pockety soft slab avalanches. In very isolated northerly facing terrain, these avalanches could step down into buried weak layers of faceted snow.
Continue to follow strict travel protocols in backcountry terrain.

Special Announcements
We are deeply saddened to report an avalanche fatality in Silver Fork of Big Cottonwood Canyon on Saturday. A very preliminary report can be found HERE>
Weather and Snow
Skies are clear. Winds are light from the west and temps are in the upper single digits to low teens. Riding conditions are excellent but crusted on the solar aspects.
We'll have sunny skies today with light to moderate winds from the west. Temps will rise to the upper teens to mid-20s. A weak brush-by system arrives tonight into tomorrow with a more potent system on tap for Friday.
Recent Avalanches
Nothing recent beyond dry sluffing and pockets of soft slab from Friday's storm.

Avalanche Problem #1
New Snow
Type
Location
Likelihood
Size
Description
Shallow soft slabs and loose dry sluffs may still be triggered in steep terrain of the mid and upper elevations. Ski cuts and cornice drops will be effective mitigation measures in steep terrain. In the highest elevations, you may find fresh soft slabs of wind drifted snow. These may be found primarily on slopes with an easterly component.
Avalanche Problem #2
Persistent Weak Layer
Type
Location
Likelihood
Size
Description
In very isolated, steep rocky areas; particularly areas that avalanched over the holidays, it may be possible for a rider to trigger an avalanche into older weak faceted snow.
