Advisory: Uintas Area Mountains | Issued by Craig Gordon for Thursday - November 26, 2015 - 5:46am |
---|
current conditions Yesterday's winds were punishing along the high ridges, but they finally relaxed around midnight as the cold front slid through the area. In its wake, temperatures crashed into the single digits and storm delivered a good shot of moisture to the region, depositing an evenly distributed 6" of medium density snow across the range. It's still pretty shallow out there and riding options are limited to road rides or low angle grassy meadows. Our western Uinta weather station network is up and running. Click here for real time snow,winds, and temperatures. Dan Gardiner was hiking around the Duchesne Ridge earlier in the week and submitted these pictures which illustrate the need for more snow. Recent trip reports and observations are found here.

recent activity No recent avalanche activity to report, but we are posting observations from the backcountry on a daily basis now. See or trigger an avalanche? Shooting cracks? Hear a collapse? It's simple. Go here to fill out an observation. |
weather Today we can expect on and off snow showers, temperatures rising into the low teens, with east and southeast winds blowing in the 10-20 mph range along the high peaks. Overnight lows will be near zero. As the main storm system meanders through the state, we can expect scattered snow showers and continued cold temperatures. It looks like a slow warming trend is on tap for next week with no big storms in sight.
