Forecast for the Salt Lake Area Mountains
Saturday, April 23, 2016
We customarily do not issue danger ratings at this point in the season, but rather provide snow and avalanche information and weather forecasts. This advisory will cover the weekend, although if this storm comes in heavier than forecasted or there is significant avalanche activity reported, we will issue an advisory on Sunday morning. For Saturday and Sunday, the primary avalanche concerns are storm snow instabilities and fresh wind drifts from the forecasted strong winds. Deep wet slabs remain possible, particularly on steep upper elevation northerly aspects. Finally, once the sun comes out, loose, wet snow avalanches are likely on all aspects. |
