In the last couple days, an unreal storm has hit Utah bringing an already unstable snowpack to an all time high. Utah Avalanche Center issued a warning this morning telling people to stay out of avalanche terrain. Period. While the Salt Lake area is particularly affected by this storm, conditions all over Utah remain dangerous. A weak faceted layer followed by heavy snowfall have created avalanche conditions where natural and human triggered avalanches are unavoidable. Utah Avalanche Center has advised people to avoid skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and even running or walking their dog to under any kind of steep slope in the mountains. While we're all itching to ski powder, today is not the day to get after it in Utah. Instead, we recommend dialing in that sourdough recipe you're still working on or maybe doing some yoga.
