Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Saturday, March 14, says, "The avalanche danger is LOW. Travel in the mountains is inherently risky, so Normal Caution is advised. You are unlikely to trigger an avalanche. The buried PWL (persistent weak layers) are mostly dormant and triggering one of these is unlikely but not impossible. Continue to avoid glide avalanche terrain such as Stairs, Broads, Mill B South, and upper Porter Fork."
