Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Tuesday, March 3, 2015
Heightened avalanche conditions exist in the backcountry, there's a MODERATE (level 2) danger, and triggered storm snow avalanches are possible on many slopes steeper than about 30 degrees. Significant additional snow is possible today, along with sustained northwest wind, and dangerous avalanche conditions may develop. The danger could easily rise to CONSIDERABLE (level 3) at upper elevations, especially on drifted slopes.
- Triggered avalanches may become likely and natural avalanches are possible, especially during periods of heavy snowfall.
- Avoid steep slopes with recent deposits of drifted snow and freshly built-out cornices on the major ridge lines.
- Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route-finding, and conservative decision making will be essential for backcountry travel today.
