Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

A shallow early season snowpack exists. Conditions are mostly stable however at the highest elevations isolated pockets of surface slab with depths to ten inches could be triggered by humans who venture into very steep terrain features. Areas of bare ground and snow depths of six inches or less are prevalent below an elevation of 8,500 feet. Recent cold temperatures and clear nights have caused the growth of surface hoar and the faceting of the snow cover.
