Forecast for the Abajos Area Mountains

Eric Trenbeath
Issued by Eric Trenbeath on
Thursday morning, February 20, 2020
Most terrain has generally LOW danger and mostly stable snow conditions exist. Low danger doesn't mean no danger and it may still be possible to trigger an avalanche in areas of extreme terrain. Carry appropriate rescue gear and continue to practice safe travel techniques.

Special Announcements
A huge shout out to all who attended our Backcountry 101 course this weekend. It's great to see people engaged and working to further their education. And thanks again to Moab Gear Trader for their generous sponsorship of this course!
Weather and Snow
Another sunny day is on tap with light NW winds and high temps near 30 degrees. I can't say that I remember a February with so little snowfall but hope is appearing on the horizon. A low pressure system approaching the southern California coast looks to be positioned pretty well for us and we could get a decent shot of snow Saturday into Sunday. Check back tomorrow for more details.
Snow totals at Buckboard Flat (8924')
