Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard remains MODERATE above an elevation of 8,000 feet. Areas of unstable snow persist in steep, avalanche-prone terrain. Hard slabs to 30 inches in depth lie on a base of weak, faceted snow. Slides could be triggered by the first person on a slope or after a slope has been crossed multiple times. New snow could also be human triggered in the form of sluffs or shallow soft slabs. Once initiated, this surface snow could trigger the deeper hard slabs if enough new snow is involved. Evaluate terrain and snow stability carefully. At the lower elevations the general avalanche hazard is LOW.
