The season is winding down and regularly scheduled daily western Uinta avalanche forecasts will be issued through Sunday April 14th.
Wondering what happens when the forecasting ends?
Well the UAC’s work keeps going strong, of course. Summer is a busy time for the UAC. During the summer we are working hard on our fall and winter planning; putting together the Fall Fundraiser and USAW; updating our awareness and education programs; this summer we will be finishing up the website redesign project.

Skies are clear, but with temperatures in the 30's, we're starting the day nearly 10 degrees warmer than yesterday at this time. Southwest winds are on the rise also, blowing in the 20's and 30's along the high peaks. Riding and turning conditions are a bit underwhelming today, though a short-lived window of supportable surface snow is found on terrain facing the south half of the compass.
Above is hourly snow data from Trial Lake (9,945')
And Lofty Lake Peak (11,186')

Don't get too discouraged at the trailheads where frozen parking lots in the morning, morph into a slickery, afternoon muddy mess.... Ted Scroggin and his crew are still laying down fresh, smooth roy that'll help get you to the high country.
No significant avalanche activity to report from yesterday.
