Avalanche Forecast
The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Sunday, March 29, says, "The avalanche danger is MODERATE. Without a refreeze last night, danger will increase throughout the day as rising temperatures make wet snow avalanches more likely. Start early, end early, and stay off and out from under steep slopes with unsupportable snow as the day goes on. Today is our last daily forecast of the season. Intermittent updates will be issued through the spring as conditions warrant. We will continue publishing observations as they come in, so please continue to submit them when you're out and about!"
