LOGAN PEAK WEATHER STATION DATA:
With the colder temperatures, the snow surface will be refrozen and, in steeper terrain, may pose "slide for life" conditions. An ice axe, crampons, ski crampons, and a helmet are all good options to have when traveling on firm snow.
No new avalanches were reported or observed in the Logan Zone in the last week.
