Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Tuesday, April 14, says, "The avalanche danger is LOW, and conditions are generally safe. Do not just see the all-green danger rose and take it as permission to turn your brain off. Cold temperatures have turned old snow into firm, unforgiving crusts. A slip in steep terrain right now could have severe consequences. Evaluate your route carefully and anticipate potential areas where you may encounter firm, consequential slopes. Carry and know how to use crampons and an ice axe to safely travel and arrest a fall."
