Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Tuesday, April 7, says, "The avalanche danger is MODERATE. As daytime temperatures rise and the surface snow softens, you can trigger wet snow avalanches. Avoid travel on sunny slopes where the surface snow is wet and slushy. On upper elevation northwest-north-northeast facing slopes, it remains possible to trigger a shallow soft slab within the recent snow. A sensitive layer produced significant avalanche activity late last week, and while avalanche activity has decreased, it remains reactive."
