Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Thursday, February 6, 2014
The avalanche danger will be rising the next couple of days.
Above treeline in the wind zone, you'll find a CONSIDERABLE danger today and human triggered avalanches are likely on steep, wind drifted slopes. The danger is most pronounced on slopes with an easterly component to their aspect.
A scary MODERATE avalanche danger is found on steep, rocky, upper elevation 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.
Wind sheltered mid and low elevation terrain offers a LOW avalanche danger.
