The storm will begin warm and wind-affected on Friday, with snow levels starting around 7,000 to 8,000 feet, leading to wet conditions at lower elevations initially.

Thursday into Friday will see the best agreement in the forecast, with a fast cold front sweeping across northern Utah, leading to a significant drop in snow levels and strong winds. Snow will start dense, with snow-to-liquid ratios improving overnight.

Though trails have reopened, hazardous winter conditions still persist and hikers should come prepared to meet snow-covered trails, icy sections, limited visibility, and the possibility of sudden storms, said the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department in a news release. That means evaluating weather conditions, carrying appropriate gear, and understanding personal limits.
