Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Saturday, October 19, says, "The Provo area mountains were the big winners of the recent storm. They picked up 8-12 inches of snow and about 2 inches of snow water equivalent!Here are a few natural avalanches from 10/18 and 10/19. Please be mindful of any steep slope that holds snow - if there's enough snow to ride, there's enough to slide. It looks like nice weather will return, so hopefully, this early-season snow will melt off."
