Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE above an elevation of 9,000 feet. People venturing into steep, shaded avalanche terrain could trigger slabs up to two feet deep. New shallow sluffs or wind slabs that fell on hard crusts could also be triggered today. Below an elevation of 9,000 feet the snowpack is mostly stable and the general avalanche hazard is LOW.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Snow showers are to dissipate overnight with partly cloudy skies expected Thursday. Mountain temperatures in the single digits in the morning will warm into the teens while winds from the northeast have averages from fifteen to twenty five miles per hour along ridge tops.The avalanche hazard above 9000 feet will be MODERATE. In isolated areas the chance continues to trigger slab avalanches to depths of two feet in very steep shaded terrain. The hazard below 9000 feet will be LOW in the shallow early season snowpack.
