special announcement Don’t know what to buy your favorite skier for Christmas? Discount lift tickets for Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude, Deer Valley, Snowbasin,and Beaver Mountain are now available, donated by the resorts to benefit the Utah Avalanche Center. Details and order information here. These make a great holiday gift and all proceeds go towards paying for avalanche forecasting and education! |
current conditions Skies are clear, winds are light, and temps are in the teens. The Sunday/Monday storm brought plenty of wind, but only 2-4" of snow. I went above Aspen Grove to the Emerald Lake hut on Friday and you can see what I found here. |
recent activity There has been no reported avalanche activity in the Provo mountains. |
weather Be grateful for this last storm, but we knew this was coming. A developing ridge of high pressure will begin to strangle the west coast and much of the intermountain west. We may not see a storm between now and Christmas. I hope I'm wrong. For now, we'll have mostly sunny skies, light northerly winds, and temperatures in the mountains rising toward freezing by the end of the week. The northerly winds may bump into the 20-25mph range Wednesday night with a storm passing to the northeast, but that's the handwriting on the wall. The bad news is that snow in the valley will only worsen the approaching inversion. |
