Utah Avalanche Center

noted no red flags or signs of natural avalanche activity

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

From 90 cms down to 10 cms, there are different layers, but overall it quickly gains strength from a 4F to 1F slab.

High Temp. Gradient at the top of the snowpack. Surface beginning to facet on shady aspects with cold temps and clear skies today. Basal facets gaining strength. This is an outlier snowpit where the HS is on the higher end compared to the rest of the range.
