Avalanche Forecast
The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Wednesday, February 4, says, "The snowpack is generally stable and the avalanche danger LOW. Expect dry loose sluffing of weak snow on sheltered, shady slopes that can gain speed and mass quickly. Be aware of the consequences of a fall above cliffs, rocks, and trees—and mindful of who is below you. Keep an eye out for isolated pockets of wind-drifted snow near ridgelines."
