This Sunday April 8th will be the last of the regularly scheduled advisories for the western Uinta Mountains.
After some late day clearing, high, thin clouds rolled into the region overnight and current temperatures are in the low to mid 20's. Southwest winds decreased the past few hours and blow in the teens along the high ridges. Riding and turning conditions are aspect dependant. South facing slopes offer smooth, suportable, corn-like conditions that, should soften later today. Whilst on the other half of the compass, shallow, soft snow is found on upper elevation wind sheltered, shady slopes.
Above are 24 hour temperatures and snow depth in Chalk Creek along with winds and temperatures from Windy Peak. More remote Uinta weather stations are found here
Well this is a heck of a way to run a winter. Pictured above... a tale of two trailheads. Common theme... while still closed, they're both toast and dry for miles.
A great body of recent trip reports, observations, and snow data here.
No significant avalanche activity to report from yesterday.
A full list of avalanches is found here.
