Avalanche Forecast
The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Sunday, March 15, says, "The avalanche danger is LOW and the snowpack is generally stable. Travel in the mountains is inherently risky, so Normal Caution is advised. The buried PWL (persistent weak layers) are mostly dormant and triggering one of these is unlikely but not impossible. Continue to avoid glide avalanche terrain such as Stairs, Broads, Mill B South, and upper Porter Fork."
