Don't miss the 12th annual Utah Avalanche Center in Logan's "Pray for Snow" party and fundraiser, the evening of December 3, again at the Italian Place in Downtown Logan.. For info and tickets go ............HERE
A good amount of fresh, somewhat dense and rimed new snow including some graupel fell in the last couple days at upper elevations in the Logan Zone . We found around 6" of fresh accumulation at Tony Grove Lake today, but more like a foot in Beginner Bowl and above around 8500' in elevation. Under the fresh snow from the last couple days, we found a thin layer of harder snow (5-10 cm) capping the still warm and soft ground on a north facing slope.
There's about a foot of snow at 8700' in the Tony Grove Area, more on some higher drifted slopes
Words of warning: Very shallow, early season conditions exist, and you are likely to hit rocks or woody debris in most areas. The Tony Grove Road is not maintained in the winter for wheeled vehicles, and road conditions are likely to be treacherous.
Snow is starting to pile up at higher elevations, so it's time to dust off and check the condition of your avalanche rescue equipment. Review and practice Companion Avalanche Rescue with our video..........HERE****
