Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Wednesday, December 25, 2013
Terrain to avoid- steep, mid and upper elevation slopes facing the north half of the compass, particularly those with an easterly component to their aspect, where a HIGH avalanche danger exists and human triggered avalanches are very likely. A CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger is found on upper elevation shady slopes and human triggered avalanches are likely. In either case, once initiated, today's avalanches will break deep and wide creating an unmanageable and dangerous slide.
Upper elevation south facing terrain offers a MODERATE avalanche danger and human triggered avalanches are possible on steep wind drifted slopes.
If you're looking for LOW avalanche danger, head to low elevation terrain or slopes facing the south half of the compass which had very little snow prior to last Thursday's big storm
