The Utah Avalanche Center forecasts considerable avalanche danger on upper-elevation slopes where backcountry visitors are likely to trigger wind-drifted snow avalanches near ridgelines and terrain features; and at mid elevations facing east and southeast where you may trigger a persistent weak layer avalanche that breaks on facets above a crust 2-3 feet deep.
The avalanche danger is MODERATE on other mid-elevation slopes and LOW at the lowest elevations.
Strong overnight winds created fresh wind-drifts at upper elevations and new snow may be covering them. These wind-drifts may break above above visitors 1 to 3 feet deep and can be avoided by choosing terrain out of the wind zone.
