Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

Avalanche hazards will be limited to small slides at the higher elevations. These slides could be small pockets of shallow wind slab less than a foot in depth or shallow, wet slides involving the new snow. Small slides can be dangerous in cliff areas, very steep couloirs, on hanging snowfields and in other types of extreme terrain.

These slides could be small pockets of shallow wind slab up to a foot in depth or shallow loose wet slides involving the new snow. Small slides can be dangerous in cliff areas, very steep couloirs and chutes, on hanging snowfields, above terrain traps and in other types of extreme terrain. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be low.
