Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Monday, February 19, 2018
In upper elevation terrain, especially in the wind zone at and above treeline, the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE. Human triggered avalanches are likely on steep wind drifted slopes, facing the north half of the compass, particularly those with an easterly component to their aspect. An avalanche triggered today can quickly get out of hand if it breaks into weak layers of snow, now buried deeper in our snowpack.
Yesterday's winds got into lower elevations as well. Expect MODERATE avalanche danger in mid elevation terrain and human triggered avalanches are possible on steep wind drifted slopes.
LOW avalanche danger is found at mid and lower elevations on slopes facing the south half of the compass.
