Forecast for the Abajo Area Mountains
Saturday, April 2, 2016
Today the avalanche danger remains MODERATE in areas where you can detect deposits of wind drifted snow. The danger is most pronounced on upper elevation slopes that have a N-NE-E aspect. Suspect slopes with steep convexities, and areas of more extreme, rocky and radical terrain.
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.
