Advisory: Uintas Area Mountains | Issued by Craig Gordon for Thursday - March 16, 2017 - 3:43am |
---|
current conditions A weak cold front this morning is ushering in high clouds and temperatures are a couple degrees cooler than yesterday at this time, registering in the low to mid 30's. Winds switched to the southwest and increased around lunchtime yesterday and are currently blowing 35-45 mph along the high ridges. Riding and turning conditions are aspect and elevation dependent. Corn curious? I thought you were and here's the scoop. Upper elevation sunny slopes are still slightly punchy, but the corn harvest is in full swing on low and mid elevation south facing terrain. On the north half of the compass, it's hit or miss, though you'll still find patches of dense, "hot" powder on wind sheltered, upper elevation slopes. Real time wind, snow, and temperatures for the Uinta's are found here
Wow... the Uinta's are white and the views... well they're stunning! Snowpack observations and trip reports are found here. |
recent activity No new avalanche activity to report from yesterday. A full list of Uinta avalanche activity is found here. |
weather Skies begin to clear this morning and temperatures rise into the upper 40's. West and southwest winds blow in the 30's and 40's with gusts to 50 mph along the high ridges. Under clear skies tonight, lows dip into the low 30's. High pressure builds for the end of the week and it'll be unseasonably warm and windy on Saturday. A cold front slides through the region Sunday, giving us a shallow coat of white paint. |
