Special Avalanche Advisory
Forest Service Utah Avalanche Center Salt Lake City UT
Relayed by National Weather Service Pocatello ID
651 AM MDT Sun Mar 22 2026

The following message is transmitted at the request of the
Forest Service Utah Avalanche Center.

The Forest Service Utah Avalanche Center has issued a SPECIAL
AVALANCHE BULLETIN for the following areas:

* WHAT...A Special Avalanche Advisory is issued for all mountain
  regions across Utah through Sunday, March 22, as avalanche
  danger is expected to rise in the coming days.

* WHERE...The mountains of Utah and southeastern Idaho.

* WHEN...In effect until 6 AM MDT Monday.

* IMPACTS...Record-breaking warm temperatures will rapidly
  destabilize the snowpack across the state, increasing the
  likelihood of widespread, spontaneous, destructive wet
  avalanches. Wet avalanches could occur on all aspects and at all
  elevations, including places that typically stay colder this
  time of year. Avoid travel on and below steep slopes, including
  avalanche runout zones and terrain traps.


Consult www.utahavalanchecenter.org or www.avalanche.org for more
detailed information.

Similar avalanche danger may exist at locations outside the
coverage area of this or any avalanche center.
