Next Sunday April 8th will be the last of the regularly scheduled advisories for the western Uinta Mountains.
Happy Easter!
A weak cold front slid through the region overnight and temperatures are dipping into the high 20's and low 30's this morning. In addition, clearing skies reveal a beautiful moon. Along the high ridges, west and southwest winds blow 35-50 mph. Riding and turning conditions are aspect dependant. Sunny slopes offer smooth, suportable, corn-like conditions that soften with strong springtime sun. Whilst on the other half of the compass, a few patches of soft shallow snow are found on upper elevation wind sheltered, shady slopes.
