Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Sunday, February 1, says, "The overall avalanche danger remains LOW, and normal caution is advised. Today, at the highest elevations, you may encounter shallow slabs of wind-drifted snow in leeward terrain. You may also be able to trigger dry loose snow on northerly aspects and wet loose point releases on solar aspects as the snow surface heats up. Even a small dry loose sluff could gouge into older faceted snow, entraining more snow than expected and leaving larger debris piles."

No road alerts or backcountry closures were detected.
