Avalanche Forecast

The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Sunday, March 22, says, "The avalanche danger will start LOW this morning but will rise quickly with daytime heating to MODERATE, and could reach CONSIDERABLE for both wet-loose and wet slab avalanches. As free water moves through our layered snowpack, large and destructive wet slab avalanches remain possible. Don't overstay your welcome—once the snow becomes unsupportable, it's time to get out of there."
