SABPIH The following message is transmitted at the request of the Forest Service Utah Avalanche Center. The Forest Service Utah Avalanche Center has issued a SPECIAL AVALANCHE BULLETIN for the following areas: * WHAT...Dangerous avalanche conditions are possible across the Bear River Range and surrounding mountains across northern Utah this weekend. This week's heavy snowfall and strong winds overloaded preexisting weak layers, creating HIGH avalanche danger. With improving weather moving in for the weekend, avalanche accidents are likely in the backcountry. There have already been two avalanche fatalities this week, as well as several close calls and numerous backcountry avalanches reported. * WHERE...Bear River Range and surrounding mountains across northern Utah. * WHEN...6 AM MST Monday. * IMPACTS...Dangerous avalanche conditions exist in the mountains and will persist through the weekend.
Natural avalanches are possible, and people are likely to trigger avalanches on slopes steeper than 30 degrees. Dangerous and deadly avalanches can be triggered remotely from a distance or from below. People leaving ski area boundaries are entering the backcountry where the same dangerous avalanche conditions exist. Consult www.utahavalanchecenter.org or www.avalanche.org for more detailed information. Similar avalanche danger may exist at locations outside the coverage area of this or any avalanche center.
