Human Factor Research: Researchers Ian McCammon and Sara Boilen are developing new tools for managing human factors for backcountry skiers and boarders. This survey asks about personal experiences with human factors and will take 7-8 minutes to complete. Link is HERE.
This Morning: A cold front moved through overnight, dropping temperatures down into the wintry-like 10-20 °F. Winds are from the west/northwest, with gusts in the upper teens mph above 10,000 feet, with gusts in the 20's mph at 11,000 feet. As of 6 am, 2-4 inches of new snow has fallen in the upper Cottonwoods.
Today: Snow showers are possible, with a trace to an inch of new snow. Temperatures will rise into the 30's °F and winds will be from the west and generally light, occasionally gusting in the 20's mph. Skies will alternate between periods of sun and clouds.
Extended: After a brief break on Tuesday, active weather should return by midweek with the potential for 12-18 inches of snow by late week.
No new avalanches were reported in the backcountry. Please let us know what you are seeing as we continue to publish observations.
