There is a Level 1 or Low danger on many slopes this morning, and avalanches are generally unlikely in most areas in the backcountry. Exceptions and heightened avalanche conditions exist on drifted slopes at upper elevations where you could trigger cornice falls and/or shallow wind slab avalanches, and there's a level 2 or Moderate danger in these areas. Warming daytime temperatures will cause an increasing danger of loose wet avalanches on steep slopes as the fresh snow becomes saturated and sticky, and a triggered wet avalanche could entrain a sizable pile of wet surface snow on a sustained pitch... Dangerous deep slab avalanches remain possible on very steep slopes in isolated areas with thin snow coverage, mostly at upper elevations. Evaluate the snow and terrain carefully, and avoid freshly drifted slopes, steep terrain with warming or saturated fresh snow, and upper elevation rocky terrain with shallow snow.

No significant avalanche activity was reported in the Logan Zone for well over a week now...

(go to our current conditions page for more details on the local activity and reports of many other recent avalanches and conditions in the backcountry across the mountains of Utah)

We might see some snow showers in the afternoon, but little accumulation is expected today. 8500' high temperatures will climb into the mid 40s, and a southwest wind will sustain 20+ mph averages. We might pick up a couple inches of accumulation overnight, with 2 to 4 inches possible, sustained winds will shift from the northwest, and temperatures should dip a bit below freezing in most mountain areas...Expect temperatures a couple degrees cooler tomorrow with mostly cloudy skies and westerly winds. Things will heat up again Friday and Saturday, with warm overnight temperatures expected. A stronger storm will impact the region late in the coming weekend, with some thunder possible.

I recently published some historical photos of the Huge Wood Camp avalanche from 2-20-1986.... Click HERE
