Uintas

This morning, the snowpack will be solidly refrozen again. The avalanche danger is LOW and avalanche conditions are generally safe.

The main hazards will be traveling on firm icy slopes, and the warm temperatures today could begin to produce small wet snow avalanches on solar aspects.

There have been no reported avalanches since the middle of last week.

Yesterday, trailhead temperatures in the Western Uintas climbed into the upper 30s and low 40s F by the later afternoon hours. Mountain temperatures climbed into the upper 20s and mid 30s F.

This morning, temperatures are hovering in the upper teens to mid-20s F under clear skies. Winds are calm at low elevations and gusting below 20 mph from the southwest along the high peaks.

Today will have sunny skies, calm winds, and high temperatures climbing into the upper 30s and low 40s F.

There have now been multiple days of below-freezing temperatures and clear skies last night which have helped the snowpack get a solid refreeze following three days of really warm weather in the middle of last week. With a few more warm days and cold clear nights the riding conditions may begin to improve on solar aspects.
