Lo esencial

The avalanche danger is generally LOW this morning, but I suspect will bump to MODERATE as the day progresses. With a storm materializing, you'll want to look for and avoid fat, rounded pieces of snow particularly if they sound or feel hollow like a drum. As new snow stacks up and winds continue blowing, human triggered avalanches become possible, especially in the wind zone at and above treeline, on steep wind drifted slopes facing the north half of the compass.

    With new snow stacking up, fresh wind drifts along the leeward side of upper elevation ridges will become reactive to our additional weight and may break a bit deeper and wider than you'd expect, especially by late in the day. The good news is... today's drifts will predictably break at or below our skis, board, or sled. But remember... if you're tagging steep, technical terrain, be aware that even a small slide could knock you off your feet and boss you around. So, the ticket to riding safely today is simply look for and avoid any fat, rounded piece of snow, especially if it sounds hollow like a drum.

Additional Info

JG was in Upper Weber Canyon and posted one of his beautiful pit profiles. Common theme with all observations from avy pros across the range is we need to keep an eye on a crust/facet combo, now buried about a foot below the surface snow.

Special Announcement

The UAC's Avy Awareness Auction is currently underway with tons of great gear, jewelry, artwork and experiences available. Visit the auction page here to help support the UAC's spring avalanche awareness and outreach efforts.

Snow and Weather

Currently-

Snow is on the way and should settle in just after sunrise. In the mean-time... clouds thickened overnight, southerly winds continued cranking in the 40's, and current temperatures register in the low to mid 20's. It's a mixed bag out there and it might be the kinda a day to get some chores done in the morning, wait for the storm to stack up a little cushion, and hit the snow for a dusk patrol later this afternoon.

Uinta weather network info is found here. Simply click on the Western Uinta tab.

For today-

Look for mostly cloudy skies with snow filling in during the morning hours. Temperatures fall throughout the day as cold air filters into the region. Today's storm should pile up 6" or so throughout the day with snow showers lingering into Monday morning. Winds blow in the 30's along the high peaks, switching to the west and then northeast, diminishing as the day progresses.

Futurecast-

Looks like we dry out for the upcoming week with no major storms in sight.
