Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Saturday, December 28, 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 CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exists and human triggered avalanches are likely. Once initiated, today's avalanches will break deep and wide creating an unmanageable and dangerous slide.
A few, tired old wind drifts linger on upper elevation south facing slopes and a MODERATE avalanche danger exists. While not widespread, human triggered avalanches are possible on steep, wind drifted, sunny slopes.
If you're looking for go to terrain, head to low elevation slopes or terrain facing the south half of the compass where the avalanche danger is generally LOW..
