current conditions Expect to find very shallow early season conditions, with all but due north facing slopes completely bare of snow before last week. There's only a few inches covering the rocks up at Tony Grove, and 9 inches of total snow on the ground at 8200' at the Franklin Basin Snotel just north of the state line. It's 27 degrees this morning at 9700' on Logan Peak, with sustained 30 mph winds overnight from the south-southeast. Remember, the Tony Grove Road is a busy shared use area, so you have to watch your speed around pedestrians and dogs. The road is not maintained for driving in the winter, so if you attempt the drive in your 4x4, be prepaired with shovel and winter survival gear... The early season is a great time to refresh yourself and practice companion rescue techniques with your partners. |
recent activity A party in the Tony Grove Area reported some subtle audible collapsing in north facing terrain at around 9000' on Thanksgiving Day. No avalanches were reported locally, but a skier triggered avalanche and a small natural avalanche cycle occurred this week at upper elevations in the Central Wasatch Range... |

Although the wind slabs from Thanksgiving are now fairly well bonded to the ground or shallow preexisting snow, sustained south winds overnight may have created a few stiff drifts in exposed upper elevation terrain. |
