Moab Avalanche Advisory

Forecaster: Max Forgensi

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

The Utah Avalanche Center-Moab will be shifting to weekend advisories for the remainder of the season. On the website, there are numerous links in the "current conditions" menu to link to real-time weather information. Utilize past advisories, but also adjacent forecasts areas to assist you when touring through the work week.

The mountains of southeast Utah is entering spring time conditions. Reports have filtered in of corn skiing conditions below tree line just before noon. The key to a safe back country tour in the spring is: start early and end early. There is plenty more winter left, but this week (with the warm temps and clear skies) is a glimpse of spring.

If you are heading to the back country, send an observation please! The more eyes out there, the better informed all of us can be.

This forecast will be updated Friday evening.
