Uintas Avalanche Advisory

Forecaster: Craig Gordon

CURRENT CONDITIONS

A series of storms deposited several feet of snow to the upper elevation terrain. While the mountains are white from far, they're far from white and there's really not much riding to be had just yet. While you're waiting for the snow to fly in earnest, now is a good time to dust off your avalanche beacon, check the batteries and make sure your shovel and probe are in good working order.
