Very light powder has fallen in the past couple days, and the snow is so nice that it's easy to forget that conditions are dangerous on many slopes steeper than 30°. Earlier in the week, heavy snow and drifting overloaded many slopes plagued by buried weak layers and poor snow structure. Most recent backcountry observations included reports of audible collapsing or "whumpfs" and some included cracking in drifted terrain. These red flags indicate unstable snow and real potential for dangerous slab avalanches failing on a buried persistent weak layer.

Looks like about 20 inches of new snow at the 8400' TGLU1 Snotel in the Central Bear River Range so far from the storm, with a bit more than four feet of total snow on the ground in upper elevation terrain. Winds blowing from the northwest are blowing 20 to 30 mph this morning at the 9700' CSI Logan Peak weather station. Temperatures at 8500' are around 14° F this morning but will drop into the single digits this afternoon, creating wind chill values as low as -13° F.

Snow in the mountains this morning will taper off soon, with clearing skies and some sun expected this afternoon. Tomorrow is expected to be mostly sunny but cold in the mountains, with high temperatures around 10° F and wind chill values as low as -16. Mostly sunny and cold conditions are expected through the weekend. Snowy conditions will return early next week.
