Forecast for the Abajo Area Mountains
Friday, March 16, 2018
The avalanche danger is generally LOW but that doesn't mean no danger, and backcountry travelers still need to maintain a standard level of avalanche awareness by continuing to keep these things in mind.
-Ride slopes one at a time and stay out from underneath run out zones when someone else is on the slope.
-Suspect steep, wind drifted slopes that have a smooth rounded appearance or that have a hollow sound or feel to them
-Suspect areas of steep, rocky, or radical terrain right around treeline and above that faces NW-N-E where it still may be possible to trigger an avalanche 2-3' deep on weak, sugary, faceted snow near the ground.
-With daytime heating, avoid steep slopes with sloppy wet snow.
