SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

The Friends of the Utah Avalanche Center in Logan presents the 5th annual Pray For Snow benefit and party at 6:30 on Friday November 21st at the Bullen Center in downtown Logan.

BOTTOM LINE

Danger by aspect and elevation on slopes approaching 35° or steeper.
(click HERE for tomorrow's danger rating)

Danger Rose Tutorial

There is a LOW danger and avalanches are unlikely on most slopes. Isolated wet avalanches are possible on steep sunny slopes with saturated snow.

CURRENT CONDITIONS

The rain crust from last week crust deteriorated under warm conditions, and we found unsupportable moist snow on south facing slopes below around 9000'. It's still quite supportable, and slick, on north facing slopes.

WHERE

PROBABILITY

SIZE

TREND

Over the next 24 hours.

You’ll encounter sunny slopes where the snow is sloppy and unsupportable. Although none have been reported, wet avalanches are always possible on steep slopes with saturated snow.

MOUNTAIN WEATHER

A cold front could bring a few snowflakes to the mountains overnight tomorrow, but it will most likely remain mostly dry. Keep your fingers crossed for possibilities developing next week.
