Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Saturday, March 28, 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 temperatures rise. Wet snow avalanches increase our uncertainty—increase your travel margins accordingly. (Gray on the danger rose indicates little to no snow. )."
