...THE FOREST SERVICE UTAH AVALANCHE CENTER HAS ISSUED A
BACKCOUNTRY AVALANCHE WARNING WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM MST
WEDNESDAY TO 6 AM MST THURSDAY

* WHAT...The avalanche danger is HIGH in the backcountry today;
  very dangerous avalanche conditions exist, with both natural and
  human-triggered avalanches likely.

* WHERE...For the mountains of Northern Utah and Southeast Idaho,
  including the Wasatch and Bear River mountain ranges.

* WHEN...In effect from 6 AM MST this morning (February 25) to 6
  AM MST Thursday (February 26).

* IMPACTS...Recent heavy snow combined with wind has overloaded
  slopes with poor snow structure and created widespread areas of
  unstable snow. Both human-triggered and natural avalanches are
  likely. People should avoid travel in avalanche terrain and stay
  clear of avalanche runouts. Stay off and out from under slopes
  steeper than 30 degrees.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Stay off of and out from under slopes steeper than 30 degrees.

Backcountry travelers should consult www.utahavalanchecenter.org

reduction measures are performed.
