Avalanche Forecast
The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Friday, January 9, says, "Areas of CONSIDERABLE danger exist in the upper elevations for triggering long running sluffs and sensitive soft slabs of wind blown snow. Some of these soft slabs may be triggered at a distance. A MODERATE danger exists for the same issues in the mid-elevations. It'll be a feeding frenzy out there today with the clearing skies. Don't let your emotions overwhelm good decision-making. Remember SAFE TRAVEL PROTOCOL: ride one at a time, keep an eye on each other, and have a plan."
