Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The snowpack is mostly stable. Small pockets of soft wind slab formed by northwest winds lie in steep avalanche terrain, particularly at the higher elevations. Watch out for unstable snow on recently loaded terrain features. Remember that low hazard does not mean no hazard exists and even a small avalanche can knock people over and carry them through rugged terrain or down long confined paths. A very remote chance may remain to trigger a large slab avalanche in an isolated area.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Light snow is taper off by 9 pm, followed by periods of light snow or flurries until 4am. Mostly clear skies are expected by sunrise. Temperatures are to drop to near zero overnight, with highs on Tuesday in the mid to upper teens. Winds during the day are to be westerly with 10 to 15 mph averages. The general avalanche danger will be Low on Tuesday. The new snowfall and winds have formed small soft slabs that could be triggered on isolated terrain features, particularly at higher elevations where the greater snowfall amounts were affected by the strongest winds. Remember that low hazard does not mean no hazard and small avalanches can still knock people over and carry them over rugged terrain or down long confined paths like couloirs.
