March kicks off our Spring Campaign! If everyone in Utah’s backcountry community donates the cost of something they regularly enjoy on an adventure—like a dawn patrol burrito, a backpack snack, or post-ride trailhead drinks—we could fund not just one but two forecasters for the entire season!
Donate here. Thank you!
Skies are partly cloudy.
Winds are light from the west. Mountain temps are in the upper 20s.
Storm totals are 2-4" from early week with higher amounts in upper American Fork.
All eyes are on this next storm...and it looks like a monster. A large scale Pacific storm with abundant moisture will slam into the Wasatch this evening, with - at times - heavy snowfall expected through Friday. Areas of the Provo mountains will see 10-20" of snow and 2-3" of snow water equivalent. Initial rain-snow lines may reach 7000' before colder air arrives Thursday afternoon. The storm looks "right-side-up" with not much wind toward the end of the storm.
For today, we'll have mostly cloudy to overcast skies, mountain temps in the mid-20s up high, the mid-30s down low. Winds will start to back to the southwest and south and stay on good behaviour until perhaps late afternoon.
Yesterday, there were no new reports of avalanches from the Provo area mountains. On Saturday, February 22nd, a father and son were involved in a very serious avalanche near the Ant Knolls on the Wasatch Back. Read more about it
