Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Sunday, March 13, 2016
Most terrain throughout the range offers LOW avalanche danger. However, while it makes up a small portion of the terrain available to ride today, pockets of MODERATE avalanche danger exist and human triggered avalanches are possible, especially on steep, wind drifted slopes and particularly in terrain with a thin, weak snowpack. While it's becoming more the exception than the rule, any avalanche that fails on weak, sugary snow near the ground, has the potential to break deeper and wider than you might expect.
If you're confused by avalanche danger ratings, you're not alone. Check out a slick viddy describing how it all works.
