Forecast for the Provo Area Mountains
Tuesday, December 26, 2017
AVALANCHE WARNING - The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE today – backcountry travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended. The danger is HIGH and more widespread in the Western Uinta mountains and the mountains to the north of the Provo area mountains. Human triggered avalanches are likely on steep slopes facing northwest through easterly at the upper elevations in the Provo area mountains. Avalanches can be triggered remotely from a distance and from below. Avoid travel on and below all steep slopes, both the large obvious avalanche paths and smaller, steep gullies, creek beds and road banks at the lower elevations.
Avoid avalanche terrain by heading to slopes less steep about 30 degrees, which are not adjacent to or below steeper terrain, such as meadows and rolling, low angle terrain.
