Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Friday, January 17, 2014
There is a Level 3 or CONSIDERABLE danger in the backcountry, and very dangerous triggered deep slab avalanches are likely on steep drifted slopes with poor snow structure. You could trigger dangerous avalanches remotely, meaning from a distance or below. Judging by recent avalanche activity, upper elevation easterly facing slopes appear to be the most dangerous. Wet avalanches will be increasingly more possible on steep sunny slopes with midday warming. Continue to avoid steep drifted slopes that have not yet avalanched. Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route-finding, and conservative decision making will be essential for safe travel in the backcountry through the weekend.
