We know there is a lot of uncertainty regarding the Coronavirus, but the Utah Avalanche Center is planning to continue issuing regular avalanche forecasts into April.
Uphill Travel at Ski Areas -
Some resorts will be offering limited uphill access but not all do. Up to date info about uphill access from Ski Utah is posted HERE. Currently-
Snow developed over the region a few hours ago and a nice little storm is starting to take shape. With just an inch or two so far, nothing to get too excited about just yet, but a reset is on the way. Currently, skies are cloudy, light snow falls, and temperatures are in the mid 20's. Southerly winds are busy at work, blowing 30-50 mph along the ridges. Riding and turning conditions are gonna be hit or miss for a minute or two, so strategy and timing are key. Get some morning chores done around the house and not only are you rewarded as a garage organizing hero... you'll get the green light to get out and score some soft snow late in the day. Done and done :)

For today-
The image above says it all. Look for snow throughout the day with 6"-8" stacking up by about dinnertime. Temperatures climb into the 30's. Southerly winds continue blowing in the mid to upper 30's, with a few gusts nearing 50 mph along the high ridges.
Futurecast-
Cool and unsettled with occasional snow showers through late Thursday.
Ted stomped around Moffit Basin yesterday and found a few older wind slabs triggered over the weekend. Isolated to steep, leeward slopes, this is the type of terrain and the kind of avalanche problem you're most likely to encounter today. More on Ted's travels found
