In sintesi

Most terrain has LOW danger. Areas of MODERATE exist primarily in the upper elevation wind drifted terrain. Human triggered avalanches are possible. Shooting cracks are clear evidence of unstable snow. Approach upper elevation wind drifted terrain with caution.

Wind drifts up to a foot may be found in the higher elevations of the Provo mountains and may be sensitive to the weight of a human. They'll be more prominent on terrain with an easterly component and may present as smooth, rippled and pillowy. Shooting cracks will be evident in wind drifted terrain. Winds are forecast to remain strong enough from the northwest to continue drifting snow over the course of the day (15-20mph).

Cornices are looming large over many ridgelines. These should be approached with great care.
