Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Sunday, January 25, says, "The avalanche danger is LOW, and the snow is mostly stable. Loose-dry avalanches can run on steep, sheltered, north-facing slopes. Although small, these slides can entrain enough snow to create a hazard. Ice Climbers: Consider the terrain above you and the potential for loose-dry avalanches while planning your climb and belay positions."
