Most areas picked up another trace to 2" overnight, pushing storm totals to 2' in upper Little Cottonwood and 14 to 18" in the rest of the regions. Riding conditions were a bit upside down yesterday, but overnight settlement will probably improve conditions for today.
A weak system passes by tomorrow with a much more promising storm slated for Monday night through Wednesday.
UDOT Little Cottonwood triggered many long running avalanches to and across the road yesterday. They have another mission this morning.
In the backcountry, many observers triggered pockety soft slabs within the new snow 1-2' deep and up to 50' wide on a variety of aspects and elevations. Two riders were briefly caught and carried in separate incidents.
Observers also noted a few shallow natural soft slabs in steep terrain.
