Forecast for the Provo Area Mountains
Wednesday, April 4, 2018
With a deep slab avalanche problem lurking on upper elevation, northerly and easterly facing slopes, the avalanche danger in these locations is MODERATE. All other slopes have a LOW danger. Avalanches that occurred last Wednesday show that this deep slab problem is still an issue in the Provo area mountains. These slides can break 2-5 feet deep and up to hundreds of feet wide. Also watch for and avoid any fresh wind drifts and wind slabs. These are much less of a hazard but worth looking for.
Hard, icy conditions also exist. While not an avalanche hazard, these "slide for life" conditions add an additional hazard in very steep terrain.
