Skies are overcast with light snow falling in the mountains. Skiing and riding today will be quite good.
Overnight storm totals are 6"/0.38"-8"/0.61" in the Ogden areas mountains. We'll see another couple-inches during the day today.
Winds are generally light from the west-northwest but are blowing 20-25mph along the highest ridgelines.
Temperatures are in the teens, mercifully.
It's been quite the run. Since Wednesday, snow and water amounts are roughly 32"/4.0" snow-water-equivalent.
Snow depths are 95" (and - mind you - these snow stakes are at 7500'-8000')!
Remember you can always find good info on Instagram at ogdenavalanche and #ogdenavalanche (check out Bill Brand'ts video of wind loading and of broken trees!)
Natural wet avalanche from yesterday. Photo below. Perhaps below 6,000'. Hopefully the cold temps will lock this up.
Ski area control teams triggered many wind and storm snow avalanches with at least one stepping to the ground into old snow. One person had a cornice break behind him and he went for a 500' ride down the slope but ended up ok. Bill Brandt noted a large avalanche

We did hear of some natural avalanche activity overnight in the north and eastern part of the forecast zone near the Hardware Ranch.
