Uintas

In general, you'll find LOW avalanche danger throughout the range and human triggered avalanches are unlikely. Remember... LOW danger... ain't NO DANGER, so if you're getting into steep, technical terrain, think about your exit strategy beforehand and have a plan prior to sending a big, committing line.

There have been no significant avalanches reported from across the range in over a week.

Nowcast - At o'dark thirty, high clouds drift into the Uinta zone early this morning, or perhaps this is late last night... but in either case, cooler air in the teens °F filters into the region. Pesky winds blowing 20-30 mph from the west and southwest deliver an "I don't wanna hang out too long near the peaks" kinda breeze. Recent wind, warm temperatures, and lack of a refreshing coat of white paint are taking their collective toll on the snow surface. Today should fit right into the underwhelming, organize your sock drawer and clean the garage category.

Forecast - Expect mostly cloudy skies, winds blowing 15-30 mph from the west and northwest, and a flurry or two by days end. What a way to run a winter... whelp, at least it'll be cold with highs reaching into the upper 20's °F, while overnight lows crater into the single digits.

Futurecast - Other than colder, inversion ventilating temperatures for the weekend, I got nothin' for ya... a return to high, dry, and slightly cooler temperatures for next week.

Travel Conditions -Supportable snow depths across the range step onto the scales in the flyweight category with just 1'-4' of settled snow above 9,000'. Below that, and on many solar aspects, the pack is thin or even non-existent, and access is a challenging mixed bag of patience and perseverance.

Shaun and Weston D visited the Strawberry environs yesterday and were met with wind whipped broken branches, wind transported pea size gravel, and wind pressed snow. A trifecta of humbling snow conditions, with a mini-sufferfest thrown in to keep 'em honest... like they needed that.
