It is currently nuking in the Wasatch right now.  We’re getting hammered by a major storm and more are stacked up behind it.  The UAC has issued and Avalanche Warning and you can pretty much guarantee that any slope with a decent pitch is going to be sliding.  Don’t believe me, check out the most recent UAC video forecast.
