Utah Avalanche Center

With storm totals between two and three feet of new snow and blowing winds continuing, the Utah Avalanche Center said the danger in the backcountry is considerable and will likely stay that way for a few more days.

The number of avalanches reported over the weekend from Ogden to Provo is approaching 30, with more reports trickling in. The new snow and wind-drifted snow is creating considerable danger on the upper elevation slopes in the backcountry.
