Special Avalanche Bulletin
Forest Service Utah Avalanche Center
Relayed by National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
647 AM MST Fri Feb 21 2025

...THE FOREST SERVICE UTAH AVALANCHE CENTER IN SALT LAKE CITY HAS
ISSUED A SPECIAL AVALANCHE BULLETIN WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 6 
AM MST FRIDAY TO 6 AM MST SUNDAY...

* WHAT...The avalanche danger is considerable in many areas.

* WHERE...For the mountains of Utah, including the Wasatch Range,
  Bear River Range, Uinta Mountains, Wasatch Plateau, and Manti
  Skyline.

* WHEN...In effect from 6 AM MST this morning to 6 AM MST 
  Sunday.

* IMPACTS...A series of storms in the last week has left a thick
  blanket of snow at all elevations, creating excellent powder
  riding conditions while also elevating the backcountry avalanche
  danger. Don't let the fresh snow and sunshine influence your 
  decision-making - avalanche conditions remain dangerous, and 
  careful snowpack and terrain analysis are required for 
  backcountry travel. Fortunately, there are great riding and 
  travel conditions away from avalanche terrain on slopes less 
  than 30 degrees in steepness. 


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Backcountry travelers should consult www.utahavalanchecenter.org
or call 1-888-999-4019 for more detailed information. 

This Bulletin does not apply to ski areas or highways where
avalanche hazard reduction measures are performed.
