Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Wednesday, January 27, 2016
In the wind zone, at and above treeline, a pockety CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exists. Human triggered avalanches are probable on steep, wind drifted slopes. Any avalanche that breaks to weak, sugary snow near the ground has the potential to be deep and dangerous.
A MODERATE avalanche danger is found at mid elevations and human triggered avalanches are possible on steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow.
Looking for LOW avalanche danger? Simply avoid being on or under steep wind drifted slopes. You can have a blast carving deep trenches in big, open meadows or seek out turns in wind sheltered terrain.
