The Abajo range picked up 4-6 inches of low density snow from Tuesday's storm. During the storm, fresh unstable slabs of wind drifted snow formed in upper elevation terrain on Northerly aspects. Backcountry travelers should be on the lookout for fat, round looking deposits of wind drifted snow up high.

Strong April sunshine will be out in full force, and temperatures are on the rise. Spring time in Southeast Utah means wet avalanche activity. You can safely ski or ride solar aspects early in the day. As the day warms up, the strategy is to move to shady Northerly facing slopes. Roller-balls and pinwheels are indicators that it is time to get off the sunny slopes. Saturated snow is another red flag of wet avalanche activity.
