The Tony Grove Snotel reports 15 inches of total snow, with two inches of accumulation from yesterday, and it's 18 degrees at 8400' . A couple inches of fresh snow did well to refresh the surface, and you'll find nice shallow powder conditions above around 8000' on smooth slopes where there is enough snow.
The Tony Grove Road is not maintained for winter travel and is very slick and icy on shady sections.. Be sure you are prepared with shovels and other emergency supplies if you attempt the drive. It is still quite possible to drive up to the parking lot at the lake, and this is where most people are parking. It's still a bit shallow for me to ride my sled in the backcountry, but a few folks have been able to get out to test their rides... Several riders made it out onto Cornice Ridge over the weekend, with no avalanches but some equipment damage noted...
No avalanches have been reported in the Logan Area......
