Forecast for the Provo Area Mountains
Thursday morning, November 5, 2026
The Utah Avalanche Center is back in full swing, and our staff is ready for another season in the mountains.
Early-season avalanches can have serious consequences, even when they’re small. Getting caught and carried through rocks, stumps, and downed trees can turn a short ride into a dangerous one.
If you’re heading into the backcountry, carry a beacon, shovel, and probe, know how to use them, and choose your terrain carefully.
Early season is the perfect time to refresh your avalanche knowledge, and there’s no shortage of resources to help. A quick review now can go a long way once the snow starts stacking up. Check out the classes and events.
