Forecast for the Salt Lake Area Mountains
Tuesday, January 9, 2018
We have a RISING AVALANCHE DANGER today and tomorrow. New snow and strong winds have created dangerous avalanche conditions and the danger is CONSIDERABLE for triggering deadly avalanches on a wide variety of weak layers at mid and upper elevations facing west through east. A MODERATE danger exists on mid and lower elevation slopes that have a southerly aspect. Lower elevations around the compass have a MODERATE danger for loose wet avalanches - where rain in falling on cold dry snow.
