Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Wednesday, January 21, says, "The avalanche danger is LOW. You can expect generally safe conditions, and normal caution is advised. With increased winds, watch for fresh wind drifts in exposed upper-elevation terrain. Out of the wind zone, the snow surface continues to weaken, so pay attention to small loose dry avalanches in steep terrain. Even a small avalanche could be consequential in complex terrain."
