Advisory: Uintas Area Mountains | Issued by Trent Meisenheimer for Monday - April 4, 2016 - 5:31am |
---|
current conditions Currently the 9000' temperatures are 30 degrees and 10,000' temperatures are 27 degrees leading to a decent refreeze of the snow surface. Winds have shifted to the southwest and almost completely died off. Windy Peak sits at 10,600' in elevation and its wind gage reads 5-10mph with an occasional gust to 15 mph. The snow surface is a mixed bag of supportable and unsupportable crusts on all solar aspects. Gain some elevation and swing around to the north where dry cold powder and excellent riding conditions remain. Uinta weather station network info is found here. Trip reports and observations are found here.

recent activity No new avalanche activity to report. Recent avalanche observations are found here See or trigger an avalanche? Shooting cracks? Hear a collapse? It's simple. Go here to fill out an observation.

weather We have a storm system passing to our north and unfortunately all we are likely to see is a bump in the wind speeds and some clouds. There is a slight chance for a few hit or miss bands of snow with this system. By mid morning you can expect a build up of white puffy clouds and very warm temperatures. Winds will remain from the southwest and should increase to 15-25 mph gusting into the 30's. Overnight lows dip to freezing and colder air moves into the region tomorrow dropping temperatures 10-15 degrees.
