Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Tuesday, March 10, says, "After several days of elevated westerly winds, avalanche danger is MODERATE across all upper elevations and on mid-elevation slopes facing northwest through east. Watch for sensitive slabs of wind-drifted snow 6 to 12 inches deep. The elevated winds and cooler temperatures should keep the snow surface cool enough, but if the sun does come out, there is potential for wet-snow avalanches on east, south, and west aspects, as well as low-elevation northerly slopes."

No road alerts or backcountry closures were detected.
