This is Brett Kobernik with the Utah Avalanche Center. Today is October 10^th.

We will start issuing avalanche advisories around the first of November or when there is sufficient snow cover. In the mean time, you can monitor the mountain conditions by looking at the automated weather stations on the Internet. The Collins station is currently operating. Also check out the National Weather Service web site for other weather forecasting products (http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/slc/).

A big thank you is necesary to everyone who attended the fundraising party in September at Black Diamond. It was a very successful event.
