Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Saturday, January 31, says, "The overall avalanche danger remains LOW, and normal caution is advised. Today, you may be able to trigger both wet and dry loose snow sluffs on southerly and northerly aspects, respectively. Any dry loose sluff could gouge into older faceted snow, entraining more snow than expected and leaving larger debris piles. Pay attention to the bump in winds. At the highest elevations, you may also encounter shallow slabs of wind-drifted snow in lee terrain."

No road alerts or backcountry closures were detected.
