Additional Information
  • Regular avalanche forecasts with avalanche danger ratings have ended. We will continue to post all observations so please keep submitting them.
  • Learn what to watch for during spring avalanche conditions when the snow becomes wet with this video from the UAC.
  • Thanks to all of you who have sent observations this season. Crowd-sourcing is the most valuable information we get. And special thanks to all the Utah avalanche professionals: ski areas, Utah Department of Transportation, guides and educators, Powderbirds, and Park City Powder Cats.
  • Thanks to Darren Van Cleave and the National Weather Service who provide office space, weather forecasting, tech support, and great company.
  • A special thanks to all of you who donate directly to the Utah Avalanche Center. We couldn't do this without your support
  • Some ski areas are closed and each has a different uphill travel policy. Remember that areas open to uphill travel are no longer doing any avalanche mitigation work and must be treated as backcountry terrain
  • The Utah Avalanche Center is a partnership between the Forest Service and the non-profit Utah Avalanche Center. On the Forest Service side, thanks to unwavering support from our boss Renee Flanagan, Forest Supervisor Dave Whittekiend, the rest of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Michael Engelhard and Brian Murdock of the Manti-La Sal National Forest and the financial support from Chris Hartman of the Forest Service Intermountain Region. Three-fourths of the Utah Avalanche Center funding along with the awareness and education programs comes from the non-profit Utah Avalanche Center. Our forecast staff includes Director Mark Staples, Drew Hardesty, Toby Weed, Craig Gordon, Brett Kobernik, Eric Trenbeath, Trent Meisenheimer, Nikki Champion, and Dave Kelly. Chad Brackelsberg leads our non-profit. Staff on the nonprofit this year include Kate Waller, Paige Pagnucco, Andy Nassetta, McKinley Talty, Jeremy Collett, Joey Manship, Paul Diegel, Liam McDonald, Claire Hurty, Robbie Allison, Greg Gagne (forecaster) and Dave Garcia (forecaster). Board of Directors are Nicole Sumner, Kate Bowman, Michael Brill, Michael Shea, Rich Mrazik, Al Richards, Caitlin Hansen, Christian Schauf, Eric Quilter, Sarah Moles, Ted Roxbury, and TJ Kolanko
  • Direct funding comes from longtime partners, Utah Division Recreation, Utah Division of Emergency Management, Utah Department of Transportation, and Salt Lake County
  • Generous support in the form of donated lift tickets and daily observations comes from Ski Utah, Alta, Brighton, Beaver Mountain, Deer Valley, Powder Mountain, Snowbasin, Snowbird, Solitude, and Vail Resorts
  • We couldn't access many areas without support and snowmobiles from Ski-Doo, Karl Malone Powersports SLC, Polaris, Young Powersports, and Northstars Ultimate Outdoors
  • Business sponsors who donate to the Utah Avalanche Center are too numerous to list here but you can find them on our Sponsors Page
