Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard remains MODERATE above an elevation of 8,500 feet. Pockets of surface slab up to 18 inches in depth persist and could be human triggered. Below an elevation of 8,500 feet the snowpack is mostly stable and the general avalanche hazard is LOW.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Light snow is possible Tuesday night with little accumulation. Wednesday will dawn near zero then warm to the low 20s as a disturbance brings widespread snowfall by afternoon. Winds along the ridge tops will be southwesterly at 20 miles per hour in the morning then veer to westerly and increase to 30 mile per hour averages in the afternoon.The general avalanche hazard will be Low in the Tetons and Togwotee Pass areas. Isolated pockets of slabs to 18 inches in depth could be released by backcountry travelers. Extreme terrain near cliff bands and cornices should be carefully evaluated for local stability. The hazard will be Moderate in the Southwest Trails/Greys River area where pockets of slabs to 18 inches in depth are more widespread.
