  • With snow in the forecast, be aware that avalanches are possible.
  • If you do venture out, have a partner and rescue gear: beacon, shovel, and a probe are essential.

Weather and Snow
There is roughly a foot of snow on the ground in the Central Bear River Range on upper elevation north-facing slopes. Other slopes in the Logan area mountains are brown and bare ahead of the incoming storm(s). A weak weather system clips our area today. A more significant storm with strong winds and widespread precipitation is expected to impact the entire area late Sunday into early next week. Snow amounts are uncertain at this time, but avalanches are possible in steep terrain once there is snow on the ground. Avoid steep snow-covered slopes especially during and after a storm when avalanche activity peaks. Early season avalanches can be traumatic due to shallow coverage.
To learn more about the incoming weather system, read Jim Steenburgh's Wasatch Weather Weenies blog post here.
Riding conditions were pretty sporty above Tony Grove mid-week. With more snow on the way, it should be easier to avoid the sagebrush slalom.
