Hello, this is Bruce Tremper with the Forest Service Utah Avalanche Center and this is our end-of-season message.
Our money has run out and we have ended avalanche advisories for the 2007-08 season. This does not mean the end of avalanches. It just means that we have to draw the line somewhere and the end of April is where we usually do it.

We have an embarrassment of riches for mountain weather products on the web. Here is a list of links that I regularly consult for mountain weather information:
Alta Forecast Graph (A wonderful forecast graph from the National Weather Service. This may be the only product you will need.)
48-hour Weather Observations (This is a compilation of the past 48 hour temperature, wind and snow from all the automated weather stations—a php script written by our own Brett Kobernik.)
The good-old National Weather Service Snow Page. Alta and Snowbird operate their sensors through the spring.
Penn State Weather (Good weather forecast maps you can loop through.)
University of Utah Weather (The Theta-e time-height is especially powerful if you know how to read it.)
Alta Public Forecast (The non-technical, forecast for those who want a general summary in plain English and icons.) |

We still want to know about any avalanche activity you see, especially if someone is caught, so please leave us a message at (801) 524-5304 or 1-800-662-4140, or email us at uac@avalanche.org. (Fax 801-524-6301)
The information in this advisory is from the U.S. Forest Service, which is solely responsible for its content. This advisory describes general avalanche conditions and local variations always occur.
We want to thank everyone who made this service possible. First, our funding partners, Utah State Parks, the Friends of the Utah Avalanche Center, Salt Lake County, Utah Public Safety, the Forest Service and all you larger donors who contributed to the Friends of the Utah Avalanche Center. There are too many to thank individually but you can read a more complete list in our annual report, which should be posted on the web around mid May.
We also want to thank everyone who has contributed hard work and observations including our talented corps of observers, who type up or call in their observations when they get home from their outing. Again, see our annual report for a more detailed list of hardworking observers.
Thanks for a great season and we will be back around the first of November.
