There's a level 3 or Considerable danger on upper elevation slopes with recent deposits of drifted snow, where you are likely to trigger wind slabs or dangerous deep slab avalanches. There are also still many areas with pockets of level 3 or Considerable danger, and dangerous deep slab avalanche conditions persist on slopes with poor snow structure, especially on very steep upper and mid elevation slopes facing the northern half of the compass. Wind slab avalanches are likely on some recently drifted slopes, and drifting likely occurred in somewhat unusual areas. Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route-finding, and conservative decision-making will again be essential in the backcountry today, and you should continue to avoid steep drifted slopes at upper and mid elevations. You'll find safer conditions in sheltered areas, on south facing slopes, and at lower elevations, and there's still lots of nice fast and fun snow in lower angled terrain.

As the snowpack gradually stabilizes, the avalanche danger is slowly coming down. Heightened avalanche conditions still exist, with a level 2 or Moderate danger on many slopes in the backcountry where you might trigger dangerous avalanches . There are also still many areas with pockets of level 3 or Considerable danger, and dangerous deep slab avalanche conditions persist on slopes with poor snow structure. You could still trigger very dangerous, huge and perhaps deadly deep slab avalanches, most likely on very steep upper and mid elevation slopes facing the northern half of the compass. Wind slab avalanches are also possible on recently drifted slopes, and in some cases, a smaller avalanche overrunning a slope with poor snow structure could create a much bigger and more dangerous deep slab avalanche. Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route-finding, and conservative decision-making will be essential in the backcountry today, and you should continue to avoid steep drifted slopes at upper and mid elevations. You'll find safer conditions in sheltered areas, on south facing slopes, and at lower elevations, and there's still lots of nice fast and fun snow in lower angled terrain.

There is a level 3 or Considerable danger in the backcountry, and dangerous deep slab avalanche conditions persist, mainly at upper elevations and in drifted terrain. You could still trigger very dangerous, huge and perhaps deadly deep slab avalanches. Wind slab avalanches are also likely on recently drifted slopes, and a smaller avalanche overrunning a slope with poor snow structure could cause a step down and a much bigger and more dangerous deep slab avalanche. Keep in mind that most accidents and fatalities in Utah occur during periods with a level 3 danger. Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route-finding, and conservative decision-making will be essential in the backcountry today, and you should continue to avoid steep drifted slopes at upper and mid elevations.
