Thank you all for helping make our first in person USAW/PROSAW since 2019 a great success. We had online viewers from 4 countries and 38 states, as well as in person representatives from many of the local guide and ski area operations. Thank you to all the great presenters.

Many ski areas are now closed to uphill travel in order to prepare for winter operations. Resort uphill travel policies can be found HERE>.

Mill Creek Canyon Road will be closed November 8-10th for road work.

This morning we've had a couple inches of wind affected graupel. The winds at the 9,000' ridgelines are in the 20's gusting to the 30's (mph). The 11,000 ridgeline winds are in the 20's gusting to 60's (mph) from the south. Temperatures at lower elevations are in the high 30's and mid 20's F at highest stations. Yesterday there were reports of a rain/snow line to 9000' with rollerballs in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Watch for this rain crust at lower elevations as the season progresses.

2-3' of dense, supportable snow sits as our foundation with more on the way. The Ogden mountains have 12-24" on the ground; the Provo mountains 12-18".

For today, we'll have snow, heavy at times with up to a foot expected in the mountains. The possibility exists of 2" an hour snowfall rates. Southerly winds 25 gusting to 40 (mph) at the 9000' ridgelines and 40 gusting to 70 (mph) at the 11,000' ridgelines. For this evening another 9-16" of snow with winds increasing from the SSW. Storm totals are 18-32" of snow with 2.5-3.5" of water.
