Ogden Avalanche was created in 2016,  as a social media entity to get information to backcountry users in Ogden.  This has slowly morphed into an experienced group of users in the Ogden area volunteering time to create an avalanche advisory for the Northern Wasatch and Southern Bear River Range.  We settled on the name Ogden Avalanche for simplicity even though the forecast area covers from the South at Grandeur Peak in Salt Lake County to the North at Mantua Reservoir in Box Elder County and to Randolf, Utah in the East.  This contains six Utah counties; Box Elder, Weber, Davis, Rich, Morgan, and Salt Lake County's.  Ogden Avalanche's mission is; “We provide access to avalanche education and information, through a range of resources, to diverse user groups throughout the Ogden community.”  We accomplish this through outreach to community members, education from children to adults, avalanche forecasting, professional observations, and weather data collection.  We work with our local ski areas to promote safe travel and access to Ogden's pristine powder.  Ogden Avalanche hopes to continue in our mission keeping people in Ogden informed on current and changing avalanche conditions.
