We need your help. In an effort to increase awareness and prevent future fatalities we need to reach more people with our daily avalanche forecasts, expand the Know Before You Go program, and increase the number of on-snow avalanche courses.

A band of snow developed late last night, delivering 2"-4" of medium density snow across the range, with close to 7" stacking up in the higher elevations of the North Slope. Temperatures cooled as the front arrived and currently register in the mid teens and low 20's. Winds switched to the west and northwest around 2:00 this morning and just began bumping into the 30's and 40's along the high peaks. Riding and turning conditions vastly improved overnight and I think low angle slopes are the ticket, as our recent coat of white paint will help cushion some of the old, hard snow surfaces.
Above is hourly data from Chalk Creek (9,169')

Surreal... the Uinta's are stunningly white. On a go-anywhere-base and a phat Uinta snowpack, overall coverage is about as good as it gets on the eastern front.
No significant avalanche activity to report from Wednesday.
