Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The General Avalanche Hazard is LOW. Above an elevation of 8,000 feet northwest winds have formed isolated pockets of soft surface slab up to eight inches in depth. These surface slabs lie upon slick crusts and weak layers of faceted snow. Humans could trigger these shallow slabs in cliff areas and on steep slopes with fresh deposits of wind drifted snow. Very little snow exists below an elevation of 7,500 feet.
