Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Friday, April 3, says, "Areas of CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exist in steep wind drifted terrain. These soft slabs will be 1-2 feet+ thick and a couple hundred feet wide and most pronounced on slopes facing north to east to south. Flip a coin? - There's more than an even chance you'll trigger an avalanche big enough to bury you on some slopes today. Because of the thin snow conditions, traumatic injury will be more likely with any avalanche involvement."
