Advisory: Provo Area Mountains | Issued by Drew Hardesty for Wednesday - February 15, 2017 - 7:11am |

current conditions Skies are clear. Winds are light from the northeast. Mountain temperatures are in the upper 20s to low 30s in the alpine. Riding conditions remain quite good in a few inches of recrystallized snow on the northerly aspects. Southerly aspects offer varying degrees of breakable to supportable corrugated sun crusts that will soften and break down with daytime heating. |
recent activity Reported activity yesterday included continued wet and dry point release sluffing in steep terrain. Avalanche control teams in high elevation terrain of LCC triggered a few shallow wind pockets with ski cuts and explosives.

weather Today will be a repeat of yesterday with light winds, sunny skies, and temperatures warming to the mid-30s at 10,000' and near 50° at 8000'. A weak wave will produce a trace to an inch of snow Thursday night into Friday. The weekend's storm now looks to be diving way south into Baja, leaving us with only a few inches of snow with the northern branch of the system. |
