special announcement The Manti-Skyline advisory program continues to function because of the very generous contributions you've made at our annual fundraisers along with the support from our non-profit Friends of the Utah Avalanche Center. Thanks to all of you for helping keep this vital resource up and running! We will be updating this weekend advisory by 7:0 AM each Saturday morning. Welcome to the new look of the avalanche advisory. This past summer we had a series of meetings and negotiated a unified look-and-feel of the avalanche advisories and web pages for other avalanche centers in this region including Jackson, Wyoming, Sun Valley and the Sierra Avalanche Center. Eventually all these sites should look very similar and the plan is for Colorado to join the look next winter. In another week or two we expect to have two viewing choices for the advisory page--this basic view and the "advanced" view most are familiar with from last season with colored danger ratings in the aspect-elevation diagram. We are still in the process of transferring the pages and content from our old website to the new site, so be patient. We are also tweaking the look and design so you may notice some changes. When everything is finished, it should all be pretty cool.
