Advisory: Logan Area Mountains | Issued by Toby Weed for Saturday - April 15, 2017 - 6:21am |

special announcement Great news… so far there haven’t been any avalanche fatalities in Utah this winter! It has been 26 years since we’ve had a fatality-free winter. Let’s keep it that way and stay safe this spring. Our goal is for everyone to enjoy the Greatest Snow on Earth and come home safe every day. The final regular advisory will be this Sunday, April 16. For the rest of the month we'll issue updates when conditions change significantly; however, we will discontinue issuing regular advisories and avalanche danger ratings after Sunday. |
current conditions Backcountry snow is hard and stable after a cold clear night. The Tony Grove Snotel reports an inch or two of new snow and 20 °F this morning. At 8400' there's 100" of total snow, with 154% of average SWE (Snow Water Equivalent). A 12 mph west wind is blowing and it's 10 °F at the 9700' CSI Logan Peak weather station. High angled spring sun will soften the snow surface, and there will be nice smooth "corn snow" conditions on many slopes by late morning. |
