Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The avalanche danger is low at all elevations today. Deeper weak layers that were active almost two weeks ago have gone dormant. Light amounts of new snow, in the 1-3" range during the day, will not be enough to create new avalanche problems. Despite these facts it is important to follow safe travel protocols. Ski or ride one at a time in steep terrain, avoid stopping in runout zones and carry & know how to use your rescue gear.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Skies will remain partly to mostly cloudy overnight with increasing chances for isolated snow showers beginning tomorrow morning. Daytime accumulation will be minimal. Ridgetop winds will be out of the northwest overnight and back to the west during the day with average speeds in the 10-15 mph range. Temperatures will remain cool with a slight valley inversion setting up overnight. Expect overnight temps in the low teens at 10,000 feet with valleys dipping to the single digits. Inversions will break down during the day and snowfall chances will increase by sunset.Cold and generally dry conditions will do little to change the avalanche danger. The most likely area to encounter reactive snow will be on Togwotee Pass where the danger will remain Moderate above 8,500 feet. Evidence is showing that deeper weak layers in the Teton and Southwest Trails areas have gone dormant. Because of this the avalanche danger will be likely be Low in both of those areas. Low danger does not mean No danger. Safe travel protocols remain critical despite the very low likelihood of triggering an avalanche in these areas.
