Forecast for the Salt Lake Area Mountains
Saturday, January 13, 2018
We have a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger on many slopes in the backcountry. The danger is real. Human triggered slides up to 3' deep are likely and may be triggered from below. The danger is most pronounced on steep northerly through easterly facing slopes at the mid and upper elevations.
If you're headed into the backcountry - or exiting though the gates at the ski area - you must have the proper gear, training, and skilled partners. Chance and hope are poor risk management strategies.
PSA - Be aware of other parties 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.
