Utah Avalanche Center

not much sign of expected wind drifted snow...

Lots of snowmobile tracks on any slope that had enough snow cover to ride. Many slopes still too thin to climb into avalanche terrain.

Shallow snow in the Beaver Mt. Area is faceted throughout and very soft in many areas with less 2 feet of total snow. This is on a west facing, forested slope. Similar snow depth and structure noted across the area

noted no red flags or signs of natural avalanche activity

Unusually thick October ice crust. Concern for the future includes the faceting surface snow.
