Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The General Avalanche Hazard is MODERATE. At higher elevations, surface slabs to a foot in depth lie on a hard snow surface in steep wind loaded terrain. These slabs could be triggered by backcountry skiers or riders today.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Cooler temperatures are expected on Thursday as overnight lows are expected to reach the single digits at the high elevations. Highs in the mid twenties in the mountains and low thirties in the valleys are expected Thursday afternoon. Skies will be mostly cloudy with periods of light snow possible through the day.The avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW throughout the forecast area as cold temperatures are expected to keep the snow surface hard and avalanche activity should be limited to shallow, small, isolated pockets of new snow.
