Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Friday, February 6, says, "We have the avalanche danger pegged at MODERATE today for wet loose sluffs on nearly all aspects and elevations (but high northerlies). You'll need to pay attention to how the snow is behaving under your feet or in steep terrain. NOTE that many polar aspects may dampen and produce shallow wet sluffs today. Grey on low elevation solar aspects indicates that there is little to no snow in this terrain."
