Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Monday, February 8, 2016
At and above treeline, especially in the wind zone, a MODERATE avalanche danger exists and human triggered avalanches are possible on steep, wind drifted slopes, especially those with a westerly component to its aspect. Any avalanche that breaks to weak, sugary snow near the ground has the potential to be deep and dangerous. Remember- MODERATE avalanche danger means we can still trigger large avalanches in isolated areas.
Wind sheltered terrain that is under 30 degrees in slope steepness is the ticket for finding both LOW avalanche danger and great riding conditions.
