Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard remains MODERATE. DANGEROUS hard slabs one to three feet in depth lie upon a persistant weak layer of faceted snow. User triggered slab avalanches are possible in steep, wind loaded avalanche prone terrain. Variations in the distribution of this buried weak layer make it difficult to determine which slopes are unstable. The nature of this instability may allow multiple passes by riders or skiers on an unstable slope before it fails.
