Forecast for the Provo Area Mountains
Monday, January 23, 2017
The avalanche danger is HIGH at the upper elevations, and CONSIDERABLE at the mid and low elevations. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended – you need stay off of and out from under steep terrain, and avoid avalanche runout zones. Most of the Provo area ice climbs are in avalanche paths.
What is unusual today is the weak snow at the lower elevations. While avalanches may be smaller at low elevations, debris can still pile dangerously deep terrain traps such as gullies, creek beds, and below steep road banks.
