Today I was able to find the persistent weak layer in the Snowbasin Periphery. Obs were taken between 8,200ft and 8,600ft on NNE aspect This weak layer was not as reactive in the couple of spots I looked today. I had great compression test results. CT11 and CT13 SP on the persistent weak layer which in this area was 2-4mm already. This will continue to facet with the cold temps and shallow snowpack. My guess to why we have not seen anything triggered on this persistent slab in Ogden is due to; 1 Lack of triggers, 2 Lack of Slab sitting on that weak layer, 3. Not enough snow weight to trigger natural avalanches. I had no notable ECT results today; ECTNX and ECTN23 first on our mid-pack graupel layer and second on the persistent weak layer. Snowbasin is now open and most people will be accessing backcountry terrain from the Snowbasin lifts so we will have more triggers now.
Please remember that accessing the backcountry terrain from a ski area is a privilege not a right. Be courteous to employees at those resorts. (minor edits by forecaster)
Videos, 1 Facets were a little wet but still reactive just no Propagation.
