Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains
Thursday, February 20, 2014
There remains a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger in areas that have recent deposits of wind drifted snow, and in areas where it is possible to trigger a buried, persistent slab. These dangers are primarily found on mid to upper elevation slopes, steeper than 34 degrees, that have a NW-E-SE aspect. At mid elevations, these dangers are more MODERATE or localized, but it is not the time to push slope angles by venturing into steep terrain. At lower elevations, the avalanche danger is generally LOW.
