Through a generous donation by Backcountry.com to our partners the Friends of the Utah Avalanche Center we will continue forecasting through this weekend.

Cold overnight temperatures are helping to diminish the wet avalanche threat for the time being. This morning there's a Level 1 or Low danger, and mostly stable snow conditions exist on the majority of slopes in the backcountry. Seasonal midday warming may cause heightened conditions on some steep slopes, and I've included pockets of Level 2 or Moderate danger for steep slopes with saturated snow that become softened by warmth... Triggered large cornice falls and wind slab avalanches are still possible in places. There are areas with a Level 2 danger, and you might find heightened conditions in some drifted upper elevation terrain.. Use normal caution, continue to follow safe travel protocols, and evaluate the snow and terrain carefully, especially on steep slopes with warmth-softened, saturated snow and in exposed upper elevation terrain....

Looks like you found go anywhere riding conditions yesterday on supportable sun-softened spring snow, with a bit of fresh snow up high. We found solid, supportable and mostly stable snow in the Wellsville Mountain Wilderness. The couple inches of yesterdays fresh snow was nicely incorporated into the soft melt/freeze surface snow snow. Cool temperatures and a breeze helped, and we found the nice soft surface snow quickly solidifying and it was mostly refrozen, even in the sun, by the time we began our evening descent... You might need crampon and an ice axe for morning ascents after another good refreeze overnight. The 8400' Tony Grove Snotel reports 18 degrees this morning and there's 141 inches of total snow at the station, with 172% of average water content for the date..

We've had reports of several more unintentionally triggered avalanches in the Central Wasatch Range yesterday. There have been a handful of close calls this week, with a couple people reportedly caught and carried by wind slab avalanches that they triggered, and at least one injury..

Locally, no new avalanches have been reported since the triggered and natural wet activity last weekend and on Monday... Several large glide cracks appeared during the week.

Cool and moist weather under a continued westerly zonal flow should continue through the weekend and well into next week. Expect increasing clouds and a fair amount of sunshine today, with continuing west winds and high temperatures in the upper 20s.. There is a good chance of some snow tomorrow and again on Monday, but accumulations will be rather insignificant. Mountain temperatures are supposed to remain below freezing over the weekend and drop into the teens at night.
