Cheers to the good folks at the Utah Avalanche Center who remind us of the importance of avalanche awareness year-round. UAC provides daily avalanche conditions reports throughout the winter and avalanche safety education opportunities to help backcountry enthusiasts make better informed decisions while traveling in the high country.
