Forecast for the Logan Area Mountains
Monday, December 12, 2016
Dangerous avalanche conditions remain in the backcountry, and triggered avalanches are likely on steep upper and mid-elevation slopes. Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious routefinding, and conservative decision-making will be essential for safe backcountry travel today.
- Heavy snow overloaded preexisting weak faceted snow, and you could trigger persistent slab avalanches on slopes steeper than about 30 degrees.
- Destructive deep slab avalanches failing near the ground are possible in north facing upper elevation terrain.
- Wind slab avalanches are likely on steep drifted slopes.
