About
The Utah Avalanche Center-Moab will be updating the forecast for the weekend of January 26th. Warmer temperatures and temperature swings are changing the snow on the ground, from the bottom up and from the top down. While this does not pose a significant threat currently, the next big weather event may create a widespread avalanche cycle.
Until any new snow falls, enjoy the grooming provided by LUNA and get up and into the alpine. Warm, glorious days!
