On Wednesday, we found million dollar views, miles of smiles, amazing terrain, and great snow... all provided by Park City Powder Cats and their very generous, annual donation to the Utah Avalanche Center. Huge thanks to PCPC for all the amazing support and a big shout out to Ron, Johnny, Chris and the entire crew for hosting this bitchin' day... y'all rock :)
Under mostly cloudy skies, light snow is falling and we've got a fresh coat of paint for the eastern front. This is a North Slope favored storm with 10" stacking up so far... the south end of the range clocks in with about half that amount. Current temperatures are in the 20's and east-northeast winds are blowing 10-20 mph along the high ridges. On a go-anywhere base, excellent riding and turning conditions await, especially on mid and upper elevation north facing slopes. Get after it before the winds do!
Above... 24 hour winds from Windy Peak (10,166') and the Trail Lake snotel site (9,992')
Real time temperatures, snowfall and wind for the western Uintas are found here.

It's been pretty quiet on the eastern front with no new avalanches reported the past couple days.
