current conditions The Tony Grove Snotel at 8400' reports 27°F and 30" of total snow containing 112% of average SWE (Snow Water Equivalent). It's 25°F at the 9700' CSI Logan Peak weather station, with northwest wind currently blowing around 20 mph, with gusts to 34 mph. Folks are finding very nice powder riding conditions this week in the Logan Zone, with more total snow and better coverage in the central and northern Bear River Range and at upper elevations. Heightened avalanche conditions exist at upper elevations, with human triggered avalanches possible. Just beneath the fresh powder, shallow early season snow conditions exist, and hitting rocks or stumps is a significant hazard. Travel cautiously and keep your speed down. The Tony Grove Road is not maintained for wheeled travel in the winter. |

recent activity A fairly widespread natural avalanche cycle occurred in the Central Bear River Range during the intense storm Sunday night (12/3/17). Storm slab avalanches on north through east facing slopes above around 8200' ranged from 40' to 200' in width and were all about 2' deep. The avalanches failed on a layer of sugary faceted snow and/or feathery surface hoar above the stout Thanksgiving crust. |
