Skies are clear.
Winds are light from the west-northwest. Anemometers along the highest ridgelines are spinning 25mph with gusts to 35.
Mountain temperatures are inverted with temps in the teens up high, the single digits down low.
Despite a breakable sun crust on the solar aspects, riding conditions are excellent on the northerly slopes.
The
Alta Guard station has been keeping snow records since 1944/1945. January totals are 139" and 11.14"(snow-water-equivalent) for the month with a running total for Nov>Jan of 336"/30.47"
Today, we'll see sunny skies, light west-northwest winds, and temperatures slowly rising to the the upper 20s up high, the mid-30s down low.
Outlook: A weak storm system does a drive by Friday. We'll see moderate to strong southwest winds but no precipitation for the trouble. Another stronger system arrives Sunday/Sunday night for another few inches of snow. The longer range outlook is neither blockbuster storm after blockbuster storm, ⛈ but it's not a high pressure ridge parked overhead, either.
Amazing coverage and amazing riding conditions in the Cottonwoods and the Park City ridgeline.
Other than a wet loose avalanche cascading over the Hellgate cliffbands in upper LCC, we did not hear of any avalanches yesterday.
