Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Friday, November 25, 2016
In the wind zone, at and above treeline, pockets of MODERATE avalanche danger exist and human triggered avalanches are possible, especially on steep, wind drifted, shady slopes facing the north half of the compass.
Out of the wind at mid and low elevations the avalanche danger is generally LOW.
Heads up- both Mirror Lake Highway and Wolf Creek Pass are still open and access to avalanche terrain is relatively easy. Remember... just cause you can see your rig from a ridgeline doesn't necessarily make the terrain any safer and triggering even a small slide this time of year will reveal stumps, rocks, and general nastiness, easily ruining your day or perhaps your season.
