Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains
Sunday, January 15, 2017
The avalanche danger is MODERATE today and heightened avalanche conditions exist on specific terrain features. Primary areas of concern continue to be steep, wind loaded, upper elevation slopes that face NW-N-E. Evaluate slopes carefully and avoid areas that have deep deposits of wind drifted snow. Pay special attention to slopes that have steep convexities and blind break-overs - this type of terrain can lure you far down slope, well below where an avalanche is likely to fracture.
