Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Monday, February 6, 2017
Heads up... the avalanche danger will be rising the next couple of days.
For today, in the wind zone at and above treeline, a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exists 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.
