Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Sunday, December 11, 2016
Above treeline in the wind zone, the avalanche danger is HIGH today. Human triggered avalanches are likely on steep, wind drifted slopes facing the north half of the compass and particularly in terrain with an easterly component to its aspect. Any slide triggered has the potential to be deep and dangerous.
You'll find a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger in mid elevation terrain facing the north half of the compass. Human triggered avalanches are probable on steep, wind drifted slopes.
Even low elevation, shady slopes are getting in on the act and a MODERATE danger exists. Human triggered avalanches are possible on steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow.
Low angle, wind sheltered slopes with nothing steep above or adjacent to where you're riding and most terrain facing the south half of the compass offers LOW avalanche danger.
