Analysis
At the fss the plt requested the current & forecast salt lake city wx. The wx was furnished & the specialist advised that VFR flt was not recommended. The plt did not wish a full briefing & was heard to say to his passenger "let's go check it out." The acft crashed on the western slope of a mountain at about 9,000 ft MSL. The area forecast interpreted for the area of the accident warned of moderate turbulence, mountains obscured above 6,000 to 9,000 ft, moderate mixed rime & clear icing from the freezing level to 18,000 ft, & ceilings & visibilities occasionally at or below 1,000 ft & 3 mi in rain, snow & patchy fog.
