Salt River and Wyoming Ranges
Avalanche danger
Highlights
The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE. Slabs up to two feet in depth persist in the starting zones of known avalanche paths, cliff areas and on the steep walls of cirques and basins. The potential for a person, especially someone on a snow machine, to trigger one of these slabs continues.
Avalanche Discussion
( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Light snow will continue Sunday night through Monday with accumulations of one or two inches. Temperatures will fall to the mid teens overnight and only warm to the upper teens Monday. Ridge top winds will be westerly with 40 mile per hour averages Sunday night into Monday afternoon.The general avalanche hazard will be LOW in the Tetons and Togwotee Pass areas. The snowpack is mostly stable. Skiers and riders venturing into extreme terrain with very steep chutes or cliff bands could trigger slides. Careful evaluation of the hazards in these areas is important even when the general hazard is Low.The general avalanche hazard in the Greys River area will be Moderate. Skiers, riders and snowmobilers have the potential to trigger avalanches to two feet in depth in known avalanche paths and steep areas like chutes or near cliff bands.
