Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Sunday, April 5, says, "The avalanche danger is MODERATE. You can find slabs of wind-drifted snow 1-2 feet+ thick on most north-east-south facing slopes that can break hundreds of feet wide. These were responsible for 18 skier-triggered avalanches, including 10 catch and carries on Friday. As temperatures rise well above freezing for the first time since the storms, expect wet avalanche activity to increase in likelihood and size throughout the day on most slopes. If the weather forecast verifies, danger could rise to CONSIDERABLE by this afternoon due to wet snow activity."
