Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains

The avalanche danger is MODERATE. Deep, dangerous, and potentially deadly avalanches 3-6 feet deep, failing on a buried persistent weak layer remain POSSIBLE on steep slopes that face W-N-SE. The odds of triggering a slide have dropped, but the consequences remain the same. These are large, hard-slab avalanches that will easily ruin your day, or worse.
An uptick in Southerly winds has produced a round of soft, shallow slabs of wind-drifted snow that will be sensitive to the weight of a rider above treeline on slopes that face W-N-E.
Slopes that face S and SW offer a LOW danger.
