Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. Riders and skiers could trigger new snow sluffs or very soft shallow labs in steep terrain today. The size of these slabs is expected to be small, however in long or constricting terrain features where moving snow can increase in volume caution is advised to avoid being pushed into the physical hazards or terrain traps that may lie downhill.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )After a weak split trough produces areas of light snow through the night, mostly clear conditions are expected on Friday. Temperatures are to rise into the low twenties at all elevations. Winds are to be northwesterly with averages of ten to fifteen miles per hour. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW. Above 9000 feet skiers and riders have the potential to initiate light surface snow in the form of sluffs or soft shallow surface slabs in steep terrain. Significant avalanche activity below 9000 feet is unlikely.
