We look forward to seeing you at our annual fundraiser party at the Italian Place in Logan on December 3...
There's 20 inches of total snow this morning, containing 105% of average water for the date, and a temperature of 32 degrees at the 8400' Tony Grove Snotel. South winds are currently averaging around 38 mph at 9700' on Logan Peak, and the CSI Logan Peak Weather station reports 25 degrees Last weekend's snow is showing the effects of a strong temperature gradient and resulting sublimation, and its starting to get a bit weak and sugary. Frost or surface hoar crystals are also starting to show up in some lower and mid elevation areas. The Tony Grove road is not maintained for wheeled travel in the winter, and I'm not sure if you can get up anywhere near the lake. You can find good road and and open meadow riding up high, but remember the snow you see is all we have, there's no base!
Feathers of Surface Hoar or frost like these in Wood Camp Hollow can become a persistent weak layer if buried intact.
No avalanches were yet reported this season in the Logan Zone, but it was active in the Wasatch last weekend.
