Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Friday, January 31, 2014
Above treeline in the wind zone a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exists and human triggered avalanches are likely. Terrain to avoid- steep, upper elevation, wind drifted slopes, particularly those facing the north half of the compass. Once triggered, avalanches have the possibility to break deep and wide, creating a dangerous avalanche.
Mid elevation terrain offers a MODERATE avalanche danger and human triggered avalanches are possible on steep wind drifted slopes.
Go to terrain- If you're looking for LOW avalanche danger, head to wind sheltered terrain, especially where there are no steep slopes above or adjacent to where you're riding.
