Forecast for the Salt Lake Area Mountains

A MODERATE avalanche danger exists on all freshly wind drifted slopes today. You can trigger 1-2' thick slabs of wind drifted snow on nearly all aspects and elevations, but they will be most pronounced on mid and upper elevation north through east through south facing slopes. Cornices have become large and unruly: they are calving naturally and triggering new soft slabs on the slope below. Give them a wide berth.
Keep an eye on how the sun and rapid warming affects the new snow. I think we'll be able to skate by today without much wet activity (?), but tomorrow will be a different story.
