Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Wednesday, January 9, 2013
The snow is mostly stable and the danger is LOW ( level 1) on most slopes in the backcountry today. Heightened avalanche conditions exist in places, increasing south winds will cause the danger to rise, and there are areas with a MODERATE (or level 2) danger, mainly at upper elevations. You could trigger wind slab avalanches in drifted terrain or loose wet sluffs on some very steep slopes with saturated surface snow. Use normal caution and continue to practice safe travel protocols.
Expect a rising danger tomorrow and the onset of a strong and cold winter storm...
