Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

Some of the higher elevations in the southern portion of this forecast area have received five to ten inches of new snow during the past several days. Humans who venture into steep avalanche starting zones in those areas could trigger isolated pockets of new wind slab formed by east to southeast winds. These small slides could be 6 to 18 inches deep and may be dangerous in cliff areas, above terrain traps and in other extreme terrain features. Today's sunshine may cause shallow loose snow sloughs involving this new snow to occur of steep sunlit slopes. Monitor conditions for wet snow avalanche hazards during the warmest portion of the day.
