Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains

Tuesday, April 4, 2023
Areas of CONSIDERABLE danger exist on steep slopes above treeline that face N-NE-E. Human triggered avalanches involving slabs of wind drifted snow are likely in these areas.
A MODERATE danger exists near treeline and above on all other slopes facing NW-N-SE.
Isolated slabs may exist on all aspects. Look for areas of drifted snow on the leeward sides of ridge crests and terrain features in wind exposed terrain. Even a small wind slab avalanche can be dire in consequential terrain.
Cornices are becoming very large in some areas. Give them a wide berth and stay out from under them.
