Forecast for the Abajo Area Mountains
Saturday, March 4, 2017
The avalanche danger is MODERATE and human triggered avalanches are possible on steep slopes today. Lingering wind slabs, and snow on top of buried weak layers present isolated problems on steep, northerly facing aspects. With daytime heating, may we see some loose, wet slide activity on sun exposed slopes. Look for signs of instability such as pinwheels, roller balls, and sloppy wet snow. Stay off of and out form under steep slopes when these signs are present.
