Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains

Sunday, March 3, 2024
Very strong winds from the south combined with 8-15 inches of new snow have made the avalanche danger HIGH above treeline. More snow and more wind today will make both natural and human triggered avalanches likely. Some slopes may produce large avalanches breaking at the ground. Stay away from big bowls and other big slopes above treeline today.
Slopes near treeline will have dangerous conditions and a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger.
Strong winds have reached below treeline and the danger is MODERATE on slopes below treeline. The most likely slopes to avalanche are ones with fresh difts of wind-blown snow.
The simple solution is always to take advantage of all the rolling terrain less than 30 degrees in steepness and seek out the few slopes untouched by the wind.
