Forecast for the Salt Lake Area Mountains
Wednesday, February 28, 2018
The avalanche danger is MODERATE on all steep, mid and upper elevation slopes. Wind drifts can be found and triggered around the compass, both along ridge lines and well off the ridges. Deeper slides can be triggered on west through north through southeasterly facing slopes, expecially on slopes with a thinner snowpack.
With the complex snowpack, continue cautious route finding, careful snowpack evaluation and conservative decision making are important.
You will find better and safer skiing and riding conditions on lower-angled wind sheltered slopes, with no steep slopes above.
