Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Tuesday, November 19, 2013
Heightened avalanche conditions exist at upper elevations in the backcountry, you could trigger persistent slab or wind slab avalanches on steep slopes and the overall danger is MODERATE (or level 2). Also, pockets with a CONSIDERABLE (or level 3) danger can be found at the highest elevations on some slopes facing the northeast quarter of the compass. Triggered wind slab and persistent slab avalanches are still probable in steep upper elevation terrain and are most likely on smooth slopes with preexisting weak snow. Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious routefinding, and conservative decision making will be essential today, and you should continue to avoid steep and especially drifted slopes at upper elevations. Very shallow, early season snow conditions exist.
