The Tony Grove Snotel at 8400' reports 13 inches of settled new snow in the last 24 hours, containing 1.6 inches of water. There's 117 inches of total snow, with 134% of average water content for the date. It's only 14 degrees at the 9700' CSI Logan Peak weather station, and I'm currently reading light west winds, significantly diminished since early yesterday. You'll find nice powder riding across the zone, but also dangerous avalanche conditions on steep slopes with significant deposits of new and drifted snow.
We've received daily reports of people being caught and carried by avalanches in the Central Wasatch Backcountry since Thursday, and yet another yesterday. No injuries were yet reported. In the Logan Zone, no one has been caught, but several natural and intentionally triggered avalanches were reported in the last few days.
Visit our Backcountry Observations Page for details on the season's activity.
These shallow, intentionally triggered wind slabs ran late Thursday on the warm dusty snow that was on the surface for much of March. This interface is suspect again today, but now a couple storms worth of snow will be involved and avalanches will be larger and probably not so manageable.
