Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Wednesday, January 28, says, "The snowpack is generally stable and the avalanche danger is LOW. Our primary concerns are small slides in consequential terrain. Watch for sensitive pockets of wind-drifted snow in exposed mid and upper elevation terrain up to 8 inches deep. Loose dry sluffs of weak snow, or facet-lanches, are becoming deeper and more common in sheltered northerly terrain. Expect wind slabs to slightly increase in size and reactivity with the potential for new snowfall this afternoon into tomorrow."
