Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Thursday, December 15, 2016
At mid and upper elevations, the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE today. Human triggered avalanches are probable and natural avalanches possible on steep, wind drifted slopes facing the north half of the compass. Once triggered, today's avalanches have the potential to be deep and dangerous.
Mid elevations have seen their fair share of wind and a MODERATE avalanche 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.
