Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is Low in the early morning and will quickly increase to CONSIDERABLE as temperatures warm and snow surfaces soften. This softening of the surface will allow backcountry users to to trigger wet slides or to affect deeper, persistant weaknesses in the snow and possibly trigger large dangerous slabs on steep snow covered slopes. Sunshine and warming temperatures will also present the possibility of natural activity in the form of wet loose, wet slabs, or cornice failure which may run full track or possibly be the trigger for a larger avalanche event.
