Avalanche Forecast
The Utah Avalanche Center's avalanche forecast for the Salt Lake area on Monday, January 12, says, "There is a MODERATE avalanche danger at the upper elevations and on sunny, mid-elevation slopes where human-triggered avalanches are possible. Avalanches may involve recent wind drifted snow at the upper elevations and sluffing in wet snow on sunny slopes and in dry snow on steep northerly slopes. On steep, rocky, upper-elevation slopes facing west\/north\/east, an avalanche failing in a persistent weak layer of snow down near the ground remains possible."
