Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Sunday, February 25, 2018
Heads up- the avalanche danger might be slightly more pronounced from about Trial Lake to Strawberry.
In upper elevation terrain, especially in the wind zone at and above treeline, the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE. Human triggered avalanches are LIKELY on steep wind drifted slopes, facing the north half of the compass, particularly those with an easterly component to their aspect. An avalanche triggered today can quickly get out of hand if it breaks into weak layers of snow, now buried deeper in our snowpack.
MODERATE avalanche danger exists at mid elevations and human triggered avalanches are possible on steep wind drifted slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow.
Lose some elevation or switch aspect and you'll find LOW avalanche danger on lower elevation, wind sheltered terrain and on most slopes facing the south half of the compass.
