Skies are overcast with light snow falling across the range.
Winds are light from the southwest. Mountain temperatures are in the teens to low 20s.
Sundance resort picked up 24" (2.52" SWE). This amount of SWE is over 1/4 of their total SWE since October 1st. Timp divide and the south fork picked up 12-20" of snow.
Skies should trend mostly and perhaps partly cloudy today with mountain temps still cool in the teens. Winds will remain light from the southwest.
The Outlook:
Another storm arrives but dives well south of us for the first part of the week. Another storm sets up mid week well to the west of us that will pummel us by strong southwest winds. It eventually ejects inland and moves overhead Friday into the weekend.
The Provo mountains experienced a widespread and dangerous avalanche cycle yesterday and conditions remain very dangerous.
Yesterday at Sundance resort, a skier went out of bound to chase a lost ski. In this out of bounds area, he likely triggered at least one avalanche that came down from above and completely buried him. The ski patrol located him and allowed him to free himself of the debris. He was below steep northeast facing terrain at 7600' in a place called the Pipeline, a notorious terrain trap.
A very close call.
