Special Avalanche Bulletin

Forest Service Utah Avalanche Center

Relayed by National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT

727 AM MST Sat Feb 22 2025



...THE FOREST SERVICE UTAH AVALANCHE CENTER IN SALT LAKE CITY HAS

CONTINUED A SPECIAL AVALANCHE BULLETIN WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 

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 until 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.
