Alertes en vigueurWestern Uinta Mountains

What: The Utah Avalanche Center is warning of dangerous avalanche conditions throughout the mountains of northern Utah this week, where heavy snowfall and strong winds have created a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger. Large and unsurvivable tree snapping avalanches 4-6 feet deep have already occurred, multiple riders have been critically buried in an avalanche in the Brighton backcountry since Friday, and more human-triggered avalanches are expected, with natural avalanches possible.
Where: For the mountains of Northern Utah, including the Wasatch RangeUinta Mountains.
When: In effect from 6AM MST today to 6AM MST Wednesday.
Impacts: Dangerous avalanche conditions exist on many slopes. Avalanches are likely to be triggered by anyone traveling on or below slopes steeper than 30 degrees and may be triggered remotely (from a distance) or from below. People stepping out of bounds at a ski area are stepping into the same dangerous avalanche conditions.

Backcountry travelers should consult www.utahavalanchecenter.org or call 1-888-999-4019 for more detailed information. This Bulletin does not apply to ski areas or highways where avalanche hazard reduction measures are performed.
