Forecast for the Salt Lake Area Mountains

The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE across all mid and upper-elevation steep slopes for wind-drifted snow avalanches (wind slabs). These avalanches are likely to be triggered by a human and will be 1-2 feet deep and up to 200 feet wide, and are large enough to catch, carry, bury, and kill a person.
Wet-loose avalanches are likely on all southerly aspects if today's warming temperatures and strong sunshine cause the snow to become damp, wet, and therefore unstable.
