If you rely on the UAC forecasts each day you get out, consider making a donation during our
Spring Awareness Campaign to help us continue providing the avalanche forecasts and education you rely on.
The UAC encourages everyone to follow direction from federal, state, city and county officicals. The following is from Joe Dougherty, spokesman for the
Utah Division of Emergency Management:
Though outdoor recreation is still permitted under the governor’s Stay Safe/Stay Home directive, we recommend that people maintain a distance of at least 6 feet.
Be extra cautious to avoid injuries outdoors. We are working with our hospital systems to conserve as much personal protective equipment as possible in case of hospitalizations.
Most outdoor injuries can be prevented. Know the conditions and know your limits so you don’t end up in a hospital.
Current Conditions: Another few inches of snow fell overnight. This brings totals to near a foot for the week. It's been a little breezy over the last 24 hours with wind from the northwest. Overnight temperatures were in the mid teens. Riding conditions remain excellent.
Mountain Weather: Lingering snow showers this morning will taper off and we'll see mostly cloudy skies today with high temperatures in the mid 20s. Another storm system will move through Sunday into Monday bringing around 6 inches of snow or perhaps a bit more.
There have been no reported avalanches on the Skyline this week. However, there was a snowmobile triggered avalanche in the Gooseberry zone of Fish Lake on Friday. It was about a foot deep or a bit more and involved the newer layers of snow.
