Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE. West-southwest winds continue to load unstable, dense slabs that persist on steep, leeward aspects. These slabs are up to three feet deep and could be triggered by humans. Warming temperatures and sunshine could increase their potential to be triggered by the weight of a person. Very steep terrain that is ideal for high-marking, like large, steep open slopes and the steep walls of cirques may be dangerous.
