current conditions There's 22 inches of total snow this morning with a temperature of 26 degrees at the 8400' Tony Grove Snotel. Southwest winds increased overnight, averaging around 30 mph, and the CSI Logan Peak Weather station reports 20 degrees at 9700' on Logan Peak. Last weekend's snow is already showing the effects of a strong temperature gradient and resulting sublimation, and its starting to get a bit sugary. The Tony Grove road is not maintained for wheeled travel in the winter, and I'm not sure if you can get up anywhere near the lake. You can find good road and and open meadow riding up high, but remember the new snow is all we have, there's no base! Fairly good coverage in the Central Bear River Range from last weekend's storm. Here's a look at the Blind Hollow Saddle and Mt. Elmer from the Top of Beaver Mountain yesterday, 11-18-2014.

recent activity No avalanches were yet reported this season in the Logan Zone, but it was active in the Wasatch over the weekend... A party triggered several audible collapses in the Tony Grove Area on Saturday, with new snow instability the likely culprit. Visit our Backcountry Observations Page for details

Wind slab avalanches are possible on some steep upper elevation slopes. Avoid stiffer, recently drifted snow in exposed terrain. Isolated persistent slab avalanches are possible in drifted areas with smooth underlying ground and where snow existed before last weekend's storm. |

We all need an early season rescue equipment shakedown. Replace the batteries in your beacon and check to make sure your shovel and probe are operational. Practice simple rescue scenarios in the shallow snow and force your partners to partake. Practice is required and you can and should work training into early season snow play...
