Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Tuesday, January 14, 2014
Nothing has changed here, this is the real deal. Think about the consequences of triggering a tree snapping, we're not coming home at the end of the day kinda slide.
Terrain to avoid- steep, upper elevation slopes facing the north half of the compass, especially those in the wind zone with an easterly component to their aspect, where a HIGH avalanche danger exists. Both human triggered and natural avalanches are very likely.
A CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger is found on any wind drifted slope at mid or low elevations. Natural and human triggered avalanches are likely.
Go to terrain- If you're looking for LOW avalanche danger, head to wind sheltered terrain, especially those facing the south half of the compass where there are no steep slopes above or adjacent to where you're riding.
