With clear skies and warmer overnight temperatures, wet avalanches will start to run earlier today than yesterday, starting on east then south then west and eventually some northwest facing slopes. In steep, sustained and confined terrain, some of these wet avalanches will run fast and far and easily lead to significant debris piles. We had lots of reports of long running destructive avalanches across the range. In some areas, much more destructive wet slab avalanches may occur, from either being pried out by wet loose sluffs from above, or - in some cases - melt water percolating down to structural interfaces (density changes and/or facets and crusts).

Travel advice: If you see pinwheels and rollerballs and are finding the snow start to become unsupportable, move on to low angle terrain or cooler aspects.

Some areas of Provo have some of the weakest and potentially suspect conditions across the northern half of the state. Even though you may not hear collapsing or see cracking, you may still trigger a hard slab avalanche 2-4' thick on our weak PWL from December. I was in Provo Sunday near Timponeeke and found very weak faceted snow underneath a 3' thick hard slab. Even though my tests were not damning, I didn't trust the structure and stayed on low angle terrain. The most recent avalanche into old weak faceted snow was noted on the 21st in upper AF and on the 25th - the Ant Knolls along the Wasatch Back (photo).
