Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Friday, February 9, 2018
In the wind zone, at and above treeline, the avalanche danger is MODERATE. Human triggered avalanches are possible on steep, wind drifted slopes, especially those facing the north half of the compass and particularly those with an easterly component to their aspect. Once triggered, today's avalanches can quickly get out of hand if they break into weak layers of snow now buried several feet deep in our snowpack.
Wind sheltered mid and low elevation terrain, especially south facing slopes offer generally LOW avalanche danger.
