Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Saturday, February 4, 2017
In the wind zone at and above treeline, pockets of CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exist and human triggered avalanches are likely on steep, leeward slopes.
MODERATE avalanche danger is found on steep, shady slopes at mid and lower elevations and human triggered avalanches are POSSIBLE. Remember- any avalanche that breaks to weaker snow, now buried a couple feet deep in the snowpack will get out of hand quickly, resulting in a dangerous slide.
Terrain facing the south half of the compass offers LOW avalanche danger.
