Avalanche Forecast
The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Saturday, March 21, says, "The avalanche danger will quickly rise to CONSIDERABLE for wet-snow avalanches. Large and destructive wet slab avalanches are likely as water moves through the snowpack. Despite the CONSIDERABLE rating, travel advice today should be treated more like HIGH danger, which means traveling in avalanche terrain is NOT recommended."
