Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains

Saturday, April 6, 2019
Expect two very different avalanche problems today-
DRY SNOW AVALANCHES-
In the wind zone at and above treeline you'll find MODERATE avalanche danger. Human triggered DRY SNOW avalanches are POSSIBLE on steep leeward slopes facing the north half of the compass. Limited to a small percentage of the terrain available to ride in today, if you're getting into steep, technical terrain facing the north half of the compass, there may be a rogue drift or two large enough to boss you around.
WET SNOW AVALANCHES-
Nearly all aspects and elevations are damp and the danger for WET SNOW avalanches is MODERATE. Human triggered avalanches are POSSIBLE on all steep, snow covered slopes.
