Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Monday, March 3, 2014
NO GO TERRAIN- in the wind zone at upper elevations, where the avalanche danger is HIGH today. Human triggered avalanches are very likely on all steep, wind drifted slopes, particularly those facing the north half of the compass. Once triggered, today's avalanches can break deep and wide, creating a very dangerous slide.
A CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger is found at mid elevations and human triggered avalanches are probable on steep, wind drifted slopes.
Strong winds have gotten into low elevation terrain as well. A MODERATE danger is found on steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow and human triggered avalanches are possible .
GO TO TERRAIN- gentle, wind sheltered slopes with no steep terrain above or adjacent to where you're riding. You'll find a LOW avalanche danger in terrain with these characteristics.
