Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Saturday, April 18, says, "Today you'll find areas of MODERATE avalanche danger in the higher elevation bands. Here, you will be able to trigger loose dry sluffs and pockets of soft wind slab in steep terrain. With direct sun and daytime warming, you'll increasingly be able to trigger (and observe) wet loose sluffs running far on the slick underlying crusts. All of these avalanches will be be enough to catch and carry you through the trees or over cliff-bands. Exercise caution in steep terrain today."
