Avalanche Forecast
The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Saturday, January 10, says, "MODERATE avalanche danger exists on all upper and mid-elevation slopes where you're likely to trigger sluffs (loose dry avalanches) and sensitive soft slabs of wind blown snow. You likely will not get warning signs—cracking and collapsing—before triggering these. Upper and mid-elevation slopes facing west-north-east are still harboring a persistent weak layer that can release slides more than 5 feet deep. Buckle up for a busy powder day in the backcountry. Remember SAFE TRAVEL PROTOCOLS: ride one at a time, keep an eye on each other, and have a plan. We are just as much a risk to each other as we are to ourselves. Don't let emotions override good decision-making. . . there will be more days like this."
