Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE above an elevation of 9,000 feet. A chance continues for people to trigger slabs to two foot depths in very steep northerly facing avalanche terrain. Below an elevation of 9,000 feet the snowpack is mostly stable and the general avalanche hazard is LOW.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Northerly flow aloft will bring continued cold temperatures and additional light snowfall overnight. Dryer conditions are expected Saturday with mountain temperatures reaching highs in the teens and winds coming from the northeast with twenty to thirty mile per hour averages. The general avalanche hazard will be MODERATE above 9000 feet where in isolated areas with northerly aspects the chance continues to trigger slabs to two feet in depth in very steep active avalanche paths. Below 9000 feet the hazard will be LOW in the stable and shallow early season snowpack.
