The UAC is CLOSING AFTER THIS WEEKEND: Today will be our last of issuing regular advisories for the season as our piggy bank has run dry. We will continue to accept and publish observations from backcountry users who submit them. You can find them in the Current Conditions off the main menu.

Help us improve the information we provide. Please take the time to answer 10 quick questions in our spring user survey... click HERE

There's a Level 2 or Moderate danger and heightened avalanche conditions exist on many slopes in the backcountry. Despite welcome colder temperatures overnight, wet avalanches involving fresh snow and perhaps saturated older snow are possible on steep slopes, mainly at mid and lower elevations. You could trigger shallow wind slabs consisting of fresh snow in drifted upper and mid elevation terrain, and continuing west and northwest winds today will likely cause the danger to become more widespread. There is still a danger of cornice falls at upper elevations, and you might trigger large avalanches if you travel close to the edge of exposed ridges... Dangerous and destructive deep slab avalanches are rather unlikely but still possible on some upper and mid-elevation slopes and could be triggered by overrunning cornice fall, fresh wind slab, or loose wet avalanches.. Continue to practice safe travel protocols, be aware of trees or other terrain traps below, and evaluate the snow and terrain carefully today....

Most stations in the Bear River Range report 5 or 6 inches of new snow from overnight, and temperatures dropped dramatically. The CSI weather station on Logan Peak reports 10 degrees this morning and its a cool 19 degrees up at the 8400' Tony Grove Snotel. The station reports 6" of new snow and there's 133 inches of total snow at the station, with 147% of average water content for the date... The highway 89 Logan Summit weather station reports moderate westerly winds from overnight.

The rapid warm-up on Thursday and continued heat this weekend spawned numerous natural wet avalanches across the Logan Zone... Looks like natural cornice falls, caused by the heat, triggered large avalanches at upper elevations in the Tony Grove Area, including a broad persistent hard slab in North Castle Rock and a very long-running and large cornice fall avalanche off Cornice Ridge....

The storm will exit the zone today, leaving a few lingering snow showers, clouds, and much cooler temperatures in it's wake. High temperatures in the mountains will stay in the lower 20s and sustained 15 -20 mph northwest winds along the ridges will keep things chilly and drift the fresh snow around. High pressure will begin to build over the region tomorrow, with partly cloudy skies and warmer conditions.... Temperatures will rise above freezing again on Tuesday ahead of the next Pacific system, which will bring a chance for a few inches of snowfall and another cool down on Tuesday night....
