Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The avalanche danger today is low above 9000 feet and not rated below that elevation due to low or no snow coverage. Natural and human-triggered avalanches are unlikely due to a mostly stable and shallow snowpack. Beware of small, generally soft, slabs of wind-drifted snow on isolated terrain features, beneath cliff bands and near upper elevation ridge crests. In extreme terrain, even a small avalanche can carry you somewhere you’d rather not go.Backcountry travelers are urged to use caution and consider the rocks, stumps and downed trees just below the surface of the shallow snowpack.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )High pressure remains solidly in place with clear skies tonight once again allowing temperatures to cool to the teens. Tomorrow, expect mostly sunny skies and warm conditions. Temps at 10,000’ will nudge above freezing with light west winds around 10mph. The general avalanche danger will be LOW on Monday above 7500 feet in the Tetons and above 8500 feet in the Togwotee and Southwest trails areas. Below those elevations, the snowpack remains thin or non-existent and avalanche danger is not yet rated.
