A new version of the UAC IOS application is
now available on the Apple App Store. This version fixes many of the issues that occur when running IOS 13.
Road Conditions: The road is dry dirt at the bottom, snowpacked, slick and icy in places farther up.
Grooming report: LUNA (Lower Utah Nordic Alliance) groomed all trails last Monday.

Weather: Skies are cloudy and SW winds are cranking ahead of the next storm system that will again largely avoid us. This one is on a split flow with a closed low off of the Southern California coast tracking south, while another moves through to the north. Today look for cloudy skies, moderate to strong SW winds, and high temps in the mid to upper 30's. A chance for a trace of snow is possible. As the trough moves through tonight we may pick up a couple of inches of snow. Look for clearing skies tomorrow with sunny and dry conditions returning for the week. Uggh.
Snowpack: Nothing new to report here. In general, the snow surface consists of a variety of crusts and textures, some supportable, some not, while underneath the pack has deteriorated into a pile of loose, weak, sugary facets. The snowpack is at its weakest point of the season, and as we slide into March there isn't a lot of hope for regaining the robust snowpack we once had. Though not currently posing much of an issue beyond the disastrous turning and riding conditions, this weak snow will become problematic with a significant snow load.
There is still snow up there...
Unfortunately, much of it looks like this:
