Forecast for the Abajo Area Mountains
Tuesday, January 19, 2016
The avalanche danger is generally MODERATE but areas of elevated concern exist on steep slopes that face NW-N-E. In theses areas, it is possible for the additional weight of a rider to cause a deep and dangerous avalanche releasing on buried weak snow. Suspect gullies and terrain that is heavily featured with steep roll overs and convexities.
There is also a MODERATE danger for wind slab avalanches in upper elevation, wind exposed terrain. Avoid steep slopes that have recent deposits of wind drifted snow.
