Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE. Soft slabs up to a foot in depth along with loose snow sluffs, which lay upon excellent sliding surfaces, could be triggered by backcountry travelers in steep, wind-loaded starting zones. Any warming events of the snow surface, such as brief periods of sunshine or scattered rain showers, will further destabilize the snowpack making natural activity more likely, particularly at elevations below 8,000 feet. Some potential remains for dangerous, deep hard slabs to be triggered on extremely steep slopes and in cliff areas.
