Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Wednesday, February 17, 2016
CONSIDERABLE (level 3): People should continue to stay off of and out from under steep slopes with soft saturated snow. Dangerous avalanche conditions exist and will develop in the backcountry today on rain saturated slopes at lower and mid elevations in the heat of the day. You could trigger wind slab avalanches on drifted upper elevation slopes Human-triggered avalanches are likely and natural avalanches are possible on slopes steeper than about 30 degrees. Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route finding, and conservative decision-making will be essential again today.
