Forecast for the Abajo Area Mountains
Wednesday, February 21, 2018
The avalanche danger is MODERATE today on steep, upper elevation terrain that faces W-N-E where recent snow and wind loading has added stress to buried weak layers in the snowpack. Human triggered avalanches up to 3' deep are possible in these areas. A slight increase in southerly winds today may result in the formation of sensitive shallow wind slabs along the lee sides of ridge crests and terrain features in upper elevation, wind exposed terrain. Avoid areas with recent deposits of wind drifted snow. Low elevation and south facing terrain offers mostly LOW danger.
