A trace of new snow sits on the ground this morning under mostly clear skies. Temperatures have dropped into the single digits, accompanied by light northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph. This cold air will remain in place throughout the day, keeping daytime highs in the teens. We may see a flurry or two throughout the day, but it won't add up to a measurable accumulation. Winds are expected to remain out of the north-northwest, with speeds gradually increasing through the day to 15–30 mph. No good news to report for the timing of our next potential snowfall. Split flow is sending storm systems north or south of us in model runs. We'll just keep on chooglin'  The Week in Review is hot off the press...and the sea of green is more interesting than you might expect.  You can find it HERE.    
1 report of a loose dry avalanche that entrained the faceted surface snow on a sheltered, north-facing slope around 9700 feet. These types of avalanches are beginning to entrain more snow and grow in size.  Backcountry travelers are exploring various corners of the range, and there are many great observations to be made here​​​​​​.
Normal CautionThere is no single, dominant avalanche problem, and the snow is generally stable. That said, avalanches are still possible in isolated terrain, especially in the upper elevations. You may still encounter: Small wind slabs on upper elevation ridgelines and around terrain features where snow has drifted. Loose dry sluffs on very steep slopes, especially where the snow remains shallow or unconsolidated. As the snow surface continues to weaken, loose dry sluffs will become more common. Loose wet avalanches on sunny slopes as the snow warms during the day. Outlier slab avalanches failing on a persistent weak layer. Thin, steep, rocky slopes and areas with a shallow snowpack remain the most suspect Take advantage of the favorable weather to practice companion rescue skills, including beacon searches, probing, and strategic shoveling.
The avalanche danger is LOW, and the snow is mostly stable. Small, loose dry avalanches may run on steep, sheltered, north-facing slopes. Although small, these slides can entrain enough snow to push you around and create a hazard in terrain traps like gullies and chutes. Ice Climbers: Consider the terrain above you and the potential for loose dry avalanches to run while planning your climb, protection, and belay positions.

Nowcast - A sneaky, little, moisture starved cold front slid through the Uinta zone last night delivering a couple traces of pixie dust and about .03" H2O. In other words... perhaps just enough snow to swipe off the windshield this morning. However, it's diesel gelling cold out there with temperatures registering in the low single digits °F. Winds blowing in the teens from the northwest add a bite to the air near the high peaks where windchill factors dispatch temperatures to -10 degrees °F. Forecast - Look for a lingering flurry or two, but in general, skies clear and it'll be sunny and cold with highs barely scratching their way into the low teens. Winds blow from the northwest and ramp into the 30's by closing bell. With clear skies overhead, tonight's lows crater to near zero °F Futurecast - Clear and slowly warming through most of the week, with a hint of another, albeit  very weak storm for Thursday. Check out the Uinta Weather Network here! Travel Conditions -Supportable snow depths across the range step onto the scales in the flyweight category with just 1'-4' of settled snow above 9,000'. Below that, and on many solar aspects, the pack is thin or even non-existent, and access is a challenging mixed bag of patience and perseverance. Shaun and Weston D visited the Strawberry environs Thursday and were met with wind whipped broken branches, wind transported pea size gravel, and wind pressed snow. A trifecta  of humbling snow conditions, with a mini-sufferfest thrown in to keep 'em honest... like they needed that.
  Yesterday, we received a most excellent observation from the Bald Mountain/Reids Peak zone showing a meaty piece of snow that avalanched a couple weeks ago during the early January storm cycle, clearly illustrating a very strong slab on top of weak snow in steep, rocky terrain. Otherwise, it's been quiet and there's been no significant new avalanches reported from across the range in a couple weeks.  View All Avalanches & Observations Here
Normal Caution Andy went out of his way hunting for a shallow wind skin reactive to his additional weight yesterday and found it on a very steep, polar slope, in the windzone, along the Upper Weber Canyon ridgeline... otherwise very quiet on the eastern front. I think you'd be hard pressed to trigger an avalanche today, but remember, you may still encounter: Small wind slabs in the alpine on the leeward side of upper elevation ridges and around terrain features where a stiff drift maty react to our additional weight. Loose dry sluffs on very steep slopes, especially where the snow remains shallow or unconsolidated. As the snow surface continues to weaken, loose dry sluffs become a common theme. Outlier slab avalanches failing on a persistent weak layer. Thin, steep, rocky slopes and areas with a shallow snowpack remain the most suspect.                  
     
In general, you'll find LOW avalanche danger throughout the range and human triggered avalanches are UNLIKELY. Remember... LOW danger... ain't NO DANGER, so if you're getting into steep, technical terrain, think about your exit strategy beforehand and know that even a small avalanche on a big, committing slope, can throw a curve ball at your day.

The "storm," or really just some clouds, moved through our area pretty quickly yesterday, leaving behind no new snow, more than a few disappointed riders, and, to add insult to injury, colder temperatures. Utah, like much of the Intermountain West, is struggling to hit average SWE (snow water equivalent) for the season, minus a few SNOTEL stations in the Uintas and at Tony Grove, which is 103% of normal this morning. We need a significant shift in the pattern to get back on track. The next chance for a weather change is possibly later next week, but the models are highly uncertain right now.  Slopes exposed to the sun will be firm and crusty this morning and may not soften at all today, given the colder temperatures. Sheltered, northerly slopes are holding recrystallized, weak snow, making for "loud powder" riding.  Snow depths in low and mid-elevations are exceptionally thin, creating hazardous travel conditions due to rocks, downed trees, and barely covered branches.  This morning at the UAC Card Canyon weather station at 8700 feet, it's 10°F, and there is 41" of total snow. The Tony Grove Snotel at 8400 feet reports 11°F and 54" of total snow. On Logan Peak at 9700 feet, winds are blowing in the teens from the northwest, gusting to 21 mph. It's 8°F (wind chill is -7°F) on Paris Peak at 9500 feet, and the wind is blowing in the teens from the north. Today will be cold and sunny in the mountains, with highs in the teens F and light winds blowing from the north-northwest.  The GFS run for the next two weeks looks pretty grim. Like I said a while ago, if you are looking for powder, head east. 
No avalanches have been reported recently. For all observations and avalanche activity in the Logan Zone, go HERE.  
Normal CautionTraveling conditions are ok in the backcountry, and the snow is generally stable.  You can expect generally safe avalanche conditions, but remember, LOW danger doesn't mean there's NO danger. Now is a great time to get out in the mountains, explore new terrain, and practice companion rescue with your backcountry partners in the fresh air and sunshine. Watch for and avoid stiff drifts or wind slabs formed by redeposition on weak surface snow consisting of near-surface facets or surface hoar.  The surface snow continues to weaken, and small loose avalanches of sugary, faceted snow are increasingly possible on very steep slopes.  Travel with a partner, and cross or ride slopes steeper than 30 degrees one at a time while the rest of your group watches from a safe spot. Ensure that everyone in the group has avalanche rescue equipment (a transceiver, probe, and shovel) and knows how to use it.   Surface hoar, pictured above, is just one of the many weak surface layers we are currently tracking. While super fun to ride through, this beautiful frost crystal can, once buried, become a persistent weak layer. 
     
The avalanche danger is LOW, and avalanches are unlikely. Watch for unstable wind-drifted snow in upper elevation terrain.

This forecast is from the U.S.D.A. Forest Service, which is solely responsible for its content. This forecast describes general avalanche conditions and local variations always occur.
General Conditions:  I could hardly believe it when I woke up and saw some white stuff out in my front yard.  Then I remembered it's actually winter and this stuff called "snow" does fall from the sky.  Up in the mountains, about 1 to 3 inches of snow accumulated overnight.  24hr Snow: Fairview Canyon - trace to 1" Ephraim Canyon - 3" 12 Mile Canyon - 2" Wind is calm to light from the west.  Temperatures have dropped into the mid teens. Mountain Weather:   The chances for snow are basically over and skies will start to clear out later on today.  It looks like temperatures will stay in the teens then drop into the single digits tonight.  Wind will be light from the northwest.  We have a couple of cold days ahead then temperatures moderate a bit as the ridge of high pressure once again takes a stranglehold on the Western US.  No significant storms are in sight.  
Normal CautionThe dusting of new snow will have little effect on avalanche conditions today.  By far, the biggest safety concern out there is hitting underlying rocks, logs and stumps.   The dusting of snow may improve riding conditions slightly.  Ultimately, this low-density snow will quickly turn into faceted grains over the next week and add to the weak layers of snow that already exist.
A small amount of new snow has not changed the avalanche danger.  Overall, the avalanche danger is LOW on the Manti Skyline.

24 Hour Snow: 8" 72 Hour Snow: 8" Season Total Snow: 44" Depth at Gold Basin: 30" Winds on Pre-Laurel Peak: NW 10-15 Temp: 15°F Weather The storm continues to churn it's way through Southern Colorado. A lingering chance for snow remains for the La Sals, but winds have shifted to the northwest which generally signifies the end for us. We should see gradual clearing today with winds shifting to more westerly. They'll blow in the 10-15 mph range with gusts as high as 30 mph along ridge tops. High temperatures at 10,000 feet will creep into the upper teens. Under clear skies, temperatures will crater into the single digits tonight. Sunday looks cold, clear, and beautiful.  General Conditions It sure was great to be out in a snow storm yesterday. Light to moderate snow fell most of the afternoon and by 4:00 PM we had 4-6 inches of new snow. Snowfall continued until around midnight bringing us up to 8 inches in Gold Basin and possibly as much as a foot up high. Needless to say, this will improve conditions greatly but it's still low tide out there. Winds blowing from the southwest weren't too out of hand but they blew enough to move snow around at upper elevations, particularly during a three hour period mid-storm when they blew in the 20-30 mph range along ridge tops.  The new snow has fallen on a variety of surfaces from slick and hard, to weak and faceted, and everything in between and I don't expect it will bond particularly well to any of them. In addition, the underlying snowpack is loose, weak, and faceted. For more on that, read my observation.   See recent observations here.  Snowpack and Weather Data NEW!

New SnowAvalanches involving the new snow will be possible on nearly all aspects and elevations today with the exception of southerly aspects that were nearly bare prior to the storm. The danger will be most acute on steep slopes near and above tree line that face N-NE-E. In these areas, preferential wind loading has likely  drifted snow into sensitive soft slabs a foot or more deep. Human triggered avalanches within the new snow in these areas also have the potential to step down into a buried persistent weak layer causing a deeper and much more dangerous avalanche.  Avoid slopes steeper than 30 degrees that face N-NE-E.  On all other aspects pay attention to how the new snow is behaving before committing to steeper terrain. Look for signs of "slabiness" such as blocks of snow between your skis or cracking in the snow surface, and avoid areas with recent deposits of wind drifted snow. In areas where there is no slab, you may still be able to trigger loose snow avalanches on very steep terrain. Utilize test slopes or make "slope cuts" before you commit. Practice safe travel techniques such as skiing or riding slopes one at a time and move to a safe location at the bottom. 
Persistent Weak LayerPoor snowpack structure and a persistent weak layer problem exists on slopes near and above tree line that face NW-N-NE-E. In these areas, stiff slabs of wind drifted snow overly a weak and faceted snowpack with the primary layer of concern sitting just beneath the Christmas Rain Crust (CRC). The odds of triggering a large avalanche failing on this weak layer have decreased since the large, snowmobile triggered avalanche on January 9, but they haven't gone away completely. The recent addition of new and wind drifted snow has kept the possibility alive, if not bumped it back up. The only safe strategy at this time is to avoid slopes steeper than 30 degrees in these areas. 
New snow and wind have elevated the avalanche danger to CONSIDERABLE on steep slopes near and above tree line that face N-NE-E. In these areas, human triggered avalanches involving soft slabs of recent and wind drifted snow are likely. In some cases, triggered slabs within the new snow may step down into a buried persistent weak layer causing a deeper and much more dangerous avalanche. This is also possible on slopes facing NW. Slopes steeper than 30 degrees should be avoided in these areas.  A MODERATE danger can be found on most all other aspects and elevations that have more than about 8-10 inches of new snow. Look for signs of instability such as cracking in the snow surface and avoid areas that have smooth, rounded deposits of wind drifted snow. Loose snow avalanches running on either slick hard surfaces or loose, weak facets may also be possible. Utilize test slopes to see how the new snow is behaving before committing to steeper terrain.

First, we are high and dry for a bit here, no storm on the 13/14th, but looks like MLK weekend is in play spilling into that week. Looking out at swells, and totally talking out of my league, but there could be a shot for the Eddie in Hawaii on the 12th into 13th, big swells slid down and coming in. Another round of big swells on the 15th. Those two put the 26th-29th on the radar. If temps do finally go normal we can really see things fire up!

I’m still going to put them out there, for wishes and dreams and the hope that soon we will get some dropping temps and positive weather vibes coming our way. Today’s buoypop puts Jan 5/6 on the calendar and there’s another buoypop on the horizon that puts Jan 13/14 on the crystal ball calendar. Merry Christmas to all and make sure to wish for some snow tonight upon that Christmas star. #yeahbuoy

I’m still holding out hope, I think we’ll see some miracle snow in higher elevations on Christmas through the 27th and then again for the new year. In the meantime it’s 63 degrees in SLC right now, golf anyone? #thingsaregoingtogetbetter #yeahbuoy

Lots of buoy pops going on out there. This latest one pulls us into the new year. There’s some more on the horizon for the first week of January too. Don’t want to get too far ahead of things, focusing on this weekwnd and Christmas snow for now, let’s get those temps down. See you Saturday at Freedog’s solstice/ pray for snow party. #yeahbuoy

If temperatures will behave themselves, it looks like we are still on top for some snow this weekend and Christmas. And there should be a few more between Christmas and New Year’s.#yeahbuoy
