Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Wednesday morning, March 18, 2026
Heads up... unusually warm weather is gonna deliver unusually large and unpredictable avalanches-
CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exists in mid and upper elevation polar terrain, especially steep, rocky, and complex slopes facing northwest through southeast where both natural and human-triggered avalanches are LIKELY. Any avalanche triggered will fail on our mid January problem child (weak, sugary, PWL), resulting in a very dangerous, bone snapping, tree splintering slide that stacks up deep piles up cement-like debris.
The next couple days are gonna be weird and the snowpack is gonna get cranky as it experiences skyrocketing temperatures, heat shock, and rapid change.
The price of admission is getting higher by the day and there's less, loose snow to keep your rig cool. A message from The Boss himself suggests... "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above, If you want to ride on down... down in through this tunnel of love."
