Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains
Wednesday, February 17, 2016
With daytime heating the avalanche danger will rise to MODERATE on steep, sun exposed slopes. Look for signs of instability such as sloppy, wet snow, or roller balls and pinwheels, and get off of and out from under steep, sun exposed slopes when these signs are present.
There also remains an isolated or MODERATE danger for triggering a persistent slab avalanche, or old, hard wind slab on steep, upper elevation northerly facing aspects, primarily in areas of shallow snow, and in rocky, more radical terrain.
Elsewhere the avalanche danger is generally LOW.
