Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Wednesday, February 10, 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. 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.
Steep sunny slopes get in on the act today and the danger of wet slides and sluffs increases to MODERATE with daytime heating.
Wind sheltered terrain that is under 30 degrees in slope steepness is the ticket for finding both LOW avalanche danger and great riding conditions.
