Forecast for the Salt Lake Area Mountains
Thursday, January 11, 2018
The Avalanche Danger is HIGH on steep, mid and upper elevation slopes facing northerly through easterly. Large, wide, long running avalanches can be triggered on slope or remotely from below or from adjacent slopes. Avoid travel on and below all wind-drifted slopes. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended.
Be very aware of other people near by in the backcountry - you would never would want to accidentally trigger a slide onto a party below - by remotely triggering a slide or kicking a cornice.
Those with skills to identify and avoid avalanche terrain will find great riding and turning on low angle slopes less steep than about 30 degrees, which are not below steeper terrain.
