Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Wednesday, December 20, 2017
In the wind zone, at and above treeline, I expect the avalanche danger to rise to CONSIDERABLE as the storm evolves and snow stacks up. By days end, natural avalanches are possible and human triggered avalanches likely on steep, wind drifted slopes, especially those facing the north half of the compass.
Mid and lower elevation shady slopes will get in on the act too. By late in the day, you can expect to find MODERATE avalanche danger and human triggered slides become possible on steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow.
South facing terrain, especially at mid and lower elevations offers LOW avalanche danger.
