Forecast for the Salt Lake Area Mountains
Tuesday, March 20, 2018
The avalanche danger is MODERATE on steep slopes facing north through easterly at the mid and upper elevations. Large avalanches 2 to 5 feet deep can be triggered in isolated areas, and slopes with a shallower snowpack are the most suspect.
Use normal caution as you travel through the mountains - as the snow heats today, wet loose sluffs can be triggered on steep sunny slopes and the low and mid elevation northerly facing slopes, and the danger may rise to MODERATE if the sun remains out of extended periods of time. Dry loose sluffs can be triggered on upper elevation northerly. As always, avoid travel on and below cornices.
