Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Monday, January 26, says, "The avalanche danger is LOW, and the snow is mostly stable. Watch for fresh pockets of wind-drifted snow in exposed terrain at the mid and upper elevations. These drifts may be up to six inches deep and 15 feet wide. Also watch for loose-dry avalanches on steep, sheltered, north-facing slopes. Although small, these slides can entrain enough snow to create a hazard in steep terrain. Ice Climbers: Consider the terrain above you and the potential for loose-dry avalanches while planning your climb and belay positions."
