Moab

A storm system moving through today could leave a little shot of new snow in the mountains. Wind blowing the new snow into sensitive fresh drifts is something that you will want to keep an eye on. Fresh deposits of wind drifted snow near the upper ridges would be likely areas where you might find something that cracks out on you. This should be a manageable situation as long as you are aware of it. Use test slopes and ski cuts to get a handle on how sensitive any potential new fresh drifts are.

We're through issuing regular forecasts for the season but will update through the month with a general conditions report as significant weather conditions dictate. We will also continue to publish current observations. I would like to give a huge shout out to all who supported operations this season. This includes everyone who regularly used the forecast to stay safe; our local business sponsors Moab Gear Trader, Talking Mountain Yurts, and ROAM Industry; Black Diamond Equipment, Outdoor Research, Voile, and Arva for setting us up with the gear we need to do our job; the Manti-La Sal National Forest for their tremendous support of this program; and last but not least, our great local community and crew of dedicated observers who provide vital information and assistance throughout the season. Thanks everyone, see you next winter!
