Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE today. Snow of the past week rests on weak, light density snow and "ball bearing" graupel making a good layer for slides to run on. Soft slabs up to three feet in depth could be triggered especially in steep wind loaded northerly facing avalanche starting zones and cliff areas. Friday a large avalanche was remotely triggered by a skier on a North facing slope in the Snake River Range.
