Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Thursday, December 17, 2015
At and above treeline the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE and human triggered avalanches are likely. Within this elevation band you'll find terrain with a HIGH avalanche danger, especially steep, wind drifted slopes with an easterly component to their aspect. In either case, any slide triggered today has the potential to break wider and deeper than you might expect creating a dangerous avalanche.
You'll find a MODERATE avalanche danger at mid elevations and human triggered avalanches are possible on steep, wind drifted slopes.
Low elevations and terrain sheltered from the wind generally offers a LOW avalanche danger.
