Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Saturday, December 27, 2014
At upper elevations at and above treeline, the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE. While not widespread and pockety in nature, human triggered avalanches are probable on steep, wind drifted slopes facing the north half of the compass, especially on slopes with an easterly component to their aspect. Any slide triggered today has the potential to break to the ground, resulting in a dangerous avalanche.
A MODERATE avalanche danger exists on recently wind loaded slopes at mid elevations and human triggered avalanches are possible
A LOW avalanche danger exists on low and mid elevation slopes facing the south half of the compass and terrain that had no pre-existing snow prior to last weeks big storm.
