Avalanche Forecast
The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Tuesday, January 26, says, "The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE on all steep slopes at the upper elevations, where human-triggered slab avalanches are likely. The avalanche danger is also CONSIDERABLE on mid-elevation steep slopes facing west, through north, through east. We have dangerous avalanche conditions, and conservative decision-making will be essential today. Slab avalanches 1-3 feet deep hundreds of feet wide are likely. These are unsurvivable avalanche conditions. Low angle terrain continues to be your best option. All other aspects have a MODERATE avalanche danger. If you're leaving a resort boundary through an exit point, you are stepping into CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger."
