Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains
Wednesday, March 23, 2016
The avalanche danger is MODERATE in upper elevation, wind exposed terrain where recent deposits of wind drifted snow pose the greatest threat. These new drifts should be fairly manageable, and recognizable by their smooth, rounded appearance. Venturing into steep, radical, and more committing terrain will significantly raise the consequences for triggering a new wind slab, or possibly a deeper persistent slab.
Out of the wind affected terrain, the avalanche danger is generally LOW.
