Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Thursday, February 16, 2017
In general the avalanche danger is LOW... but here's a few things to watch for-
While making up a small portion of the terrain available to ride in today, in the wind zone, on steep leeward slopes facing the north half of the compass, pockets of MODERATE avalanche danger exist. Both new and old wind drifts will predictably react to our additional weight and human triggered avalanches are possible. Heads up... once triggered, today's avalanches may fan out and entrain a bit more snow than you'd expect.
On the south half of the compass expect the avalanche danger to rise from LOW this morning to MODERATE and human triggered avalanches become possible on steep sunny slopes as the day heats up.
