Advisory: Uintas Area Mountains | Issued by Craig Gordon for Sunday - November 29, 2015 - 5:27am |
---|
current conditions Scattered snow showers yesterday delivered another inch or two of very light density snow across the range. It's brisk this morning as temperatures bottomed out near zero degrees overnight and as of 5:00 AM, are struggling to climb into the single digits. Winds have been pretty well-behaved, blowing out of the south and southeast at 10-15 mph along the high peaks. Our western Uinta weather station network is up and running. Click here for real time snow, winds, and temperatures. Ted visited the Whitney Basin yesterday and found a little deeper snow than what we observed on the south half of the range. None-the-less, it's still pretty shallow and riding options are limited to road rides or low angle grassy meadows. Recent trip reports and observations are found here.

recent activity
Yesterday, Ted discovered this surprisingly long running natural avalanche on Double Hill. This slide most likely occurred Wednesday as a result of big Southerly winds. See or trigger an avalanche? Shooting cracks? Hear a collapse? It's simple. Go here to fill out an observation. |
weather One more day of light snow and cold temperatures. It'll be crisp today, with highs barely reaching into the low teens and overnight lows near zero. Winds shift to the northwest late in the day, but should remain in the 10-20 mph range along the high ridges. High pressure builds for next week with a slow warming trend on tap. A splitting storm is slated for late in the work week.
