Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Saturday, December 14, 2013
While not widespread, in the wind zone, you'll find a MODERATE avalanche danger on steep, wind drifted slopes and human triggered avalanches are possible. Terrain to avoid is steep, rocky, north facing slopes, especially where solid feeling slabs overlay weak sugary snow near the ground. In terrain with these characteristics avalanches have the possibility to break wider and deeper than you might expect, leading to a nasty, season ending ride through stumps, rocks, and logs barely hidden under our shallow snowpack.
Wind sheltered mid and low elevation terrain offers LOW avalanche danger.
