Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Thursday, December 5, 2013
A CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger will be found on steep, wind drifted, upper elevation slopes and human triggered avalanches are likely. Terrain to avoid is steep, rocky, leeward slopes, especially where solid feeling slabs overlay weak sugary snow near the ground. In terrain with these characteristics avalanches have the possibility to break wide and deep, creating an unmanageably large and dangerous slide.
A MODERATE avalanche danger exists on steep, wind drifted, mid elevation terrain and human triggered avalanches are possible.
Low elevation terrain and slopes that were bare prior to Tuesday's big storm offer a LOW avalanche danger.
