Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Friday, December 25, 2015
At mid and upper elevations at and above treeline, a HIGH avalanche danger exists, especially on steep, wind drifted terrain facing the north half of the compass. Human triggered avalanches are very likely, particularly on slopes with an easterly component to their aspect. Any slide triggered today will be deep, dangerous, and quite possibly, unsurvivable.
The south half of the compass offers CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger and human triggered slides are likely on steep slopes, especially those that had old snow prior to the big Solstice storm.
Looking for a place to ride today and avoid avalanches? Simply stick to low angle terrain with no steep slopes above or adjacent to where you're riding or choose big, wide open meadows where you can practice carving deep trenches.
