Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Saturday, February 8, 2014
There is a HIGH or Level 4 avalanche danger in the backcountry already this morning, and the danger will continue to rise and become more widespread with continuing heavy snowfall, strong southwest winds, and gradually rising temperatures. Natural and human triggered avalanches are likely. The danger could rise to EXTREME or Level 5 in some drifted terrain this afternoon, with large natural avalanches almost a given overnight. Dangerous persistent slab avalanches are increasingly likely, and might be triggered remotely, from a distance, or the flats below steep slopes. Avoid all travel in avalanche terrain. Stay off of and out from under steep slopes and well clear of obvious or historic avalanche paths..
