Forecast for the Ogden Area Mountains

Friday morning, December 29, 2017
There is a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger on many slopes in the backcountry. Dangerous avalanche conditions exist - careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route finding and conservative decision making are essential to your survival in the backcountry today. Human-triggered avalanches can be triggered remotely from a distance as well as from below. Choose to travel on flat terrain or low angle slopes not connected to steeper terrain above.
*Remember that when you leave a ski area boundary, you are entering the backcountry. You should travel with avalanche rescue gear as well as understand the avalanche hazard.
We are still in the period of time where avalanche accidents are likely - traveling in safe terrain will keep you from becoming a statistic.
