Forecast for the Abajos Area Mountains

Eric Trenbeath
Issued by Eric Trenbeath on
Thursday morning, April 11, 2019
The avalanche danger is MODERATE and human triggered avalanches involving new and wind drifted snow are possible. The danger will increase with elevation. Drifts form on the leeward sides of ridge crests and terrain features, and are often recognizable by their smooth, rounded appearance. Avoid steep slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow.

Special Announcements
Next Sunday, April 14 will be the last regular advisory for the season. I will post updates as conditions warrant through the rest of the month.
Thank you to everyone who supported our spring fundraiser. We reached and exceeded our goals. The UAC could not exist without your support.
Weather and Snow
6"-8" of snow has fallen across the range accompanied by moderate to strong NW winds. They'll shift to more westerly today and continue in the moderate to strong range. We may see some lingering snow showers with little to no accumulation, and daytime highs will be in the upper 20's. Unsettled weather will continue through Friday with things drying out over the weekend. A return to a stormy pattern looks likely for mid next week.
