Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. Slopes lack sufficient snow coverage for avalanche activity below 9,000 feet. Above 9,000 feet, backcountry travelers could trigger isolated pockets of surface slab to a foot in depth in very steep, north facing starting zones that lie upon weak, old-snow surfaces.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A moist, west-northwesterly flow aloft is forecasted to move over the region on Sunday bringing increasing mid-level clouds, along with a slight chance of flurries to the mountains. Westerly ridgetop winds should vary from 15 to 20 mile per hour. Mountain temperatures are expected to dip into the teens overnight before rising to near 20 on Sunday. The valley should see lows in the single digits, then rebound into the upper 20s later in the day. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW. Backcountry travelers should avoid steep, upper-elevation, northerly aspects where isolated pockets of dense slab up to two feet in depth lie upon old, October snow.
