Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Monday, January 27, 2014
While the danger is LOW on most slopes in the Logan area, heightened avalanche conditions remain in places, and there's still a Level 2 or MODERATE danger in the backcountry. You could trigger dangerous persistent slab avalanches on slopes with poor snow structure, where a thicker or more cohesive slab sits on top of very weak sugary or faceted snow. The danger is greatest in extreme terrain and on very steep drifted upper elevation north, northeast, and east facing slopes that have not already avalanched. Shallower areas on an existing slab are potential trigger points. Fresher wind slab avalanches are possible on slopes with recent wind deposits. Evaluate the snow and terrain carefully, and continue to avoid very steep, and especially drifted slopes.
