March madness continues on the eastern front and the riding is about as good as it gets. The North Slope has done well with this unsettled pattern where storm totals are nearing 14". The south half of the range from Trial Lake to Daniels has received about half that amount. West and northwest winds have been blowing in the 20's and 30's with a little spike from 3:00-7:00 pm Friday when we saw gusts in the mid 40's along the high peaks. It's winter in the Uintas and temperatures are in the single digits at the trailheads and near zero along the ridges.

This monumental achievement couldn't have happened without the joint efforts from the National Weather Service, The Heber-Kamas and Evanston Ranger Districts, Park City Powder Cats, and all the great work by Ted, Trent, Cody, and Al. Thanks to everyone... this is awesome!

Long running sluffs and shallow soft slabs predictably breaking within the new storm snow were observed yesterday in steep, wind drifted terrain throughout the region.
