The Uinta's got pounded by Monday nights storm. Storm totals are 30" with just over 2" of water.... massive numbers for the eastern front! West and southwest winds layed down an evenly distributed slab before winds really started cranking late Monday and as a result everything was very connected and about as reactive as I've ever seen in the Uinta's.
We saw numerous avalanches in Upper Weber Canyon today and the slides were remotely triggered by snowcats working in the area and by Trent and I hiking on the ridges.
