Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains
Wednesday, March 29, 2017
The avalanche danger is a solid MODERATE today with many wind slabs in the high country that will be ripe for a human trigger. This danger may extend to below tree line in open areas. Avoid steep slopes that have recent deposits of wind drifted snow or that have a hollow sound or feel to them. On wind sheltered, mid and lower elevation slopes the danger is generally LOW.
With daytime heating, the danger will rise to MODERATE on steep sun exposed slopes. Look for signs of instability such as roller balls, pinwheels, and sloppy wet snow. Stay off of, and out from under steep slopes when these signs are present.
