Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains
Thursday, March 10, 2016
With daytime heating, the danger will rise to MODERATE on sun exposed slopes. Look for signs of instability such as roller balls or pinwheels, and sloppy wet snow. Get off of, and stay out from under sun exposed slopes when these signs are present.
There remains a MODERATE avalanche danger in upper elevation, wind exposed terrain, primarily on slopes with a NW-N-E aspect where it is still possible to trigger a wind slab formed earlier in the week. Terrain choices are key - suspect slopes with steep convexities, and look for drifted snow on the lee sides of ridge crests and terrain features.
