Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE. Weak faceted snow persists at the base of the snowpack. Backcountry riders and skiers have the potential to trigger dangerous hard slab avalanches to the ground as well as dense surface slabs to depths of two feet in steep avalanche terrain.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Partly cloudy skies with a chance for occasional light snow showers exists through Friday. High temperatures are to slightly cooler with highs in the upper teens expected. Winds are to remain light. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be:Moderate in the Teton area where pockets of human triggered dense surface slabs to thirty inches are possible in steep terrain.Moderate in the Togwotee Pass area where pockets of hard slabs to the ground are possible in very steep terrain.Considerable in Southwest Trails/Greys River area where surface slabs to two feet and dangerous full depth hard slabs are possible in steep terrain.
