Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The General Avalanche Hazard is MODERATE. Forecasted cloud cover should reduce the chance of wet, loose slides on sunlit slopes but be alert for local sunny areas where rapid warming could occur due to warm overnight temperatures. Surface slabs one to three feet in depth could be released in steep areas that have seen little traffic on Northwest to Northeast aspects. Layers of weak, faceted snow lurk at the mid and base levels of the snowpack and could fail under the influence of more substantial triggers such as snowmobiles, groups, or surface slides. Pay attention to the amount of heating, and adjust plans accordingly if signs of significant warming are observed.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A sub-tropical disturbance will bring overcast skies and a chance of flurries over the mountains Monday night into Tuesday. Mountain temperatures will rise to near freezing after overinght lows in the upper teens. Mountain top winds will be West to Southwesterly at 10 to 15 miles per hour.Tuesday, the General Avalanche Hazard for the Teton, Togwotee Pass/Continental Divide and Greys River/Southwest Trails areas is expected to be MODERATE. Surface slabs to two feet in depth could be triggered in steep northerly aspects that have seen little or no traffic. Deeper slides remain a concern in areas with shallow snowpacks.
