Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Thursday, March 12, says, "The avalanche danger is LOW and Normal Caution is advised. Wet loose sluffs may occur with daytime warming. The buried PWL (persistent weak layer) is mostly dormant and triggering one of these hard slabs is unlikely but not impossible. Continue to avoid glide avalanche terrain such as Stairs, Broads, Mill B South, and upper Porter Fork. Remember that risk is inherent in mountain travel."
