Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Tuesday, January 27, says, "The snowpack is generally stable and the avalanche danger is LOW. Our primary concerns are small slides able to knock us off our feet in consequential terrain. Watch for sensitive wind-drifted slabs in exposed terrain at mid and upper elevations up to 6 inches deep. Loose dry sluffs of weak snow, or facet-lanches, are becoming deeper and more common in steep, sheltered northerly terrain. Ice Climbers: Consider the terrain above you and the potential for loose dry drifts while planning your climb and belays."
