Advisory: Uintas Area Mountains | Issued by Craig Gordon for Wednesday - March 29, 2017 - 3:38am |

current conditions A stunning day is on tap for the eastern front! Skies are clear and temperatures in the teens. Northerly winds started relaxing late last night and currently blow 10-20 mph along the high ridges. Riding and turning conditions are quite good, though the recent bout of northeasterly winds had their way with our big open bowls. However, lose a little elevation, tuck into wind sheltered terrain and on a go-anywhere base, you'll be rewarded with amazing spring riding conditions. Above... 24 hour winds from Lofty Lake Peak (11,186') and the Trail Lake snotel site (9,992') Real time temperatures, snowfall and wind for the western Uintas are found here. Snowpack observations and trip reports are found here. |
recent activity
A rider triggered this wind drift yesterday on a steep, upper elevation, north facing, cross-loaded gully in Weber Canyon. Breaking about 2' deep and not particularly connected due to terrain features, I think there's a few pockets like this one still lurking in the wind zone today.

weather High pressure brings a beautiful day to the region with sunny skies and temperatures climbing into the upper 30's. Winds shift to the northwest and blow in the 20's and low 30's near the high peaks. Clouds increase tonight ahead of a storm system slated to impact the region tomorrow afternoon through Friday. Another foot of snow is possible by late Friday. |
