553 AM MST Tue Jan 6 2026

...THE FOREST SERVICE UTAH AVALANCHE CENTER IN SALT LAKE CITY HAS
ISSUED A SPECIAL AVALANCHE BULLETIN WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 6 
AM MST TUESDAY TO 6 AM MST WEDNESDAY...

* 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.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Backcountry travelers should consult www.utahavalanchecenter.org
or call 1-888-999-4019 for more detailed information.
