Avalanche Advisory
SABSLC
* WHAT...The Utah Avalanche Center is warning of dangerous
avalanche conditions throughout the mountains of northern Utah
this week, where heavy snowfall and strong winds have created a
CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger. Large and unsurvivable tree
snapping avalanches 4-6 feet deep have already occurred,
multiple riders have been critically buried in an avalanche in
the Brighton backcountry since Friday, and more human-triggered
avalanches are expected, with natural avalanches possible.
* WHERE...For the mountains of Northern Utah, including the
Wasatch Range...Uinta Mountains.
* WHEN...In effect from 6AM MST today to 6AM MST Wednesday.
* IMPACTS...Dangerous avalanche conditions exist on many slopes.
Avalanches are likely to be triggered by anyone traveling on or
below slopes steeper than 30 degrees and may be triggered
remotely (from a distance) or from below. People stepping out of
bounds at a ski area are stepping into the same dangerous
avalanche conditions.
