current conditions Skies are partly cloudy with temps in the single digits. Winds are generally less than 10mph from the southwest. Wind chill temperatures are -12°F along the ridgelines. Snow depths sit at 30-45" in the Provo mountains after Monday's storm of 12" or so. Riding conditions have greatly improved. |
recent activity Thanks for the report. A touring party in the Provo mountains experienced collapsing yesterday and remotely triggered a foot deep and 15' wide avalanche into faceted snow on a northeast facing slope at 9500'. |
weather We'll see increasing clouds with the first of many generally weak weather systems on tap for northern Utah. For today, winds will be from the south and southwest at 10-15mph. Temps will generally remain in the freezer for awhile...today they'll be in the single digits up high and the low teens at the mid-elevations. Saturday night into Sunday holds the best promise for additional snowfall. |
