special announcement And then, there was none... day that is. Today, Sunday, April 16th is the last of the regularly scheduled western Uinta Advisories. I will post some general avy info tomorrow morning to help you navigate through the spring riding season in our absence. My colleagues and I want to thank you for all the support! Click here to check out a viddy, producer extraordinaire Trent Meisenheimer put together, explaining some of the hazards to keep an eye on as the springtime snowpack evolves. The gate on the Evanston side of the Mirror Lake Highway 150 was opened Saturday. There is still a little snow/ice on the road between where the gate is and Bear River Ranger Station. The parking lot at Bear River Ranger Station has been plowed to allow those with snowmobile trailers to turn around and unload. It is not recommended to drive on the highway beyond the ranger station. |
current conditions Skies are clear and temperatures in the mid 20's, about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday at this time. Winds switched to the west and southwest and have been blowing steadily in the teens and 20's since yesterday morning.
Above... 24 hour wind data from Windy Peak (10,166') and current snow depths at Trial Lake (9,992') Real time temperatures, snowfall and wind for the western Uintas are found here. Don't get discouraged with a little dry pavement... the Uintas are phat and white. Snowpack observations and trip reports are found here. |
recent activity No significant avalanches to report. A full list of Uinta avalanche activity is found here. |
weather After a sunny start, clouds thicken for the afternoon and evening hours. Highs reach into the low 50's and southwest winds blow in the 30's along the high ridges. A weak storm slides through Utah tomorrow but produces little or no precipitation. A stronger storm has potential for significant snow beginning Tuesday afternoon and continuing through Wednesday. |
