Avalanche Advisory
Advisory: Abajo Area Mountains Issued by Eric Trenbeath for Friday - March 24, 2017 - 7:29am
bottom line

With only a couple inches of new snow falling since yesterday, the avalanche danger is generally LOW in the Abajo Mountains. There may be a few shallow, unstable, isolated wind drifts on leeward slopes at upper elevations, and with daytime heating, we may see some loose, wet avalanche activity on sun exposed slopes.




special announcement

The Abajo/Blue Mountain avalanche advisory will provide detailed information on the weekends. During the week, general information and a danger rating will be posted.

Today we'll see clearing skies and a brief period of ridging before the next storm system affects our area on Saturday. High temperatures at 10,000' will be in the low 30's and northwest winds will continue to blow in the 20-30 mph range along ridge tops.
