Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains
Sunday, April 1, 2018
Most terrain in the La Sals offers LOW danger but with daytime heating small, loose wet avalanches will become easy to trigger as the day progresses. Be alert to signs of instability such as sloppy wet snow, roller balls, pin wheels or even loose sloughs coming down the mountain. Stay off of and out from under steep slopes when these signs are present.
A few areas of isolated or MODERATE danger still exist on steep slopes right around treeline and above that face NW-N-E where it remains possible to trigger a deep persistent slab avalanche 2'- 4' deep, particularly in areas of rocky and more radical terrain. Choose slopes wisely and avoid steep convexities and blind break-overs. Very steep, sparsely wooded terrain right around tree line remains suspect as well.
