Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Monday, March 5, 2018
While not widespread, 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.
Recent winds got into mid elevation terrain and you'll encounter a MODERATE avalanche danger on steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow.
LOW avalanche danger exists on lower elevation, wind sheltered terrain and on most slopes facing the south half of the compass.
