Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains

A CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exists on steep slopes near and above treeline that face NW-N-NE-E. Human triggered avalanches involving fresh slabs of wind drifted snow are likely. Increasing northwest winds today may begin to deposit snow on to southerly aspects. Avoid all steep slopes that have recent deposits of wind drifted snow.
The avalanche danger is MODERATE on steep slopes that face W-N-E where human triggered avalanches 2-4 feet deep failing on a buried persistent weak layer are possible. The danger is most pronounced on steep northerly aspects near treeline. Any avalanche failing on a weak faceted layer will be deep, dangerous, and potentially unsurvivable.
