This week's storm deposited around 14 inches of new snow on upper elevation slopes in the Logan Zone. Light snow is falling in the mountains this morning, but it will be partly sunny and cold today, with high temperatures near 20°F. A west southwest wind will blow along the ridges at 17 to 24 mph, with gusts as high as 40 mph, and wind chill values will be as low as -10 °F. The increasing winds will drift the fresh snow at upper elevations creating stiffer wind slabs, and people could trigger avalanches on steep slopes.
At the highest elevations in the Logan Zone, the new snow is stacking up on few inches of loose sugary faceted snow capping a very hard rain-crust from mid November. Sunny slopes up high and most terrain at mid and lower elevations were still bare of snow before the storm....
Skiers observed a small natural soft slab avalanche of drifted new snow under the cliffs in Miller Bowl yesterday, (north facing at 8700'). Clouds obscured views of most upper elevation terrain in the Central Bear River Range, and no other avalanches were reported.
