Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Saturday, January 24, says, "The avalanche danger is LOW, and the snow is mostly stable. Small, loose dry avalanches may run on steep, sheltered, north-facing slopes. Although small, these slides can entrain enough snow to push you around and create a hazard in terrain traps like gullies and chutes. Ice Climbers: Consider the terrain above you and the potential for loose dry avalanches to run while planning your climb, protection, and belay positions."
