Forecast for the Abajo Area Mountains
Saturday, February 18, 2017
I don't expect forecasted snow totals to increase the avalanche danger very much today and the danger is generally LOW. We could see a rise to MODERATE danger later in the day if more than forecasted totals of 2"-4" accumulate. Steep slopes that face W-N-E will be most affected. Be be alert to changing conditions. Suspect smooth, rounded deposits of wind drifted snow and look for signs of instability such as cracking in the snow surface.
