Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains
Thursday, March 31, 2016
Today the avalanche danger is MODERATE in areas where you can detect recent deposits of wind drifted snow. The danger is most pronounced on upper elevation slopes that have a northerly aspect. Though most of the sensitivity has gone out of the new snow, today remains a good day to mind your slope angles and keep it under 35 degrees.
And as the strong warm sun hits the new snow today, the danger for wet slide activity will rise to MODERATE on steep, sun exposed slopes. Look for signs of instability such as roller balls and pinwheels, and stay off of and out from under steep slopes when these signs are present.
