Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Wednesday, April 8, says, "The avalanche danger will rise to MODERATE on the mid- and upper-elevation slopes facing west-north-east. As daytime temperatures warm and snow surfaces become soft, natural and human-triggered avalanches are possible. The danger is LOW on mid- and upper-elevation southwest-south-southeast facing slopes. On northwest-north-northeast facing slopes above about 10,000 feet, it is still possible to trigger a shallow slab that fails within the recent snow."
