Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The snowpack is mostly stable. At the higher elevations, recently formed shallow surface slabs could be triggered in very steep terrain. A remote chance also persists for snowmobilers to trigger deep hard slab avalanches in isolated avalanche paths. Normal caution is advised.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A weak system could bring periods of snow showers tonight into Thursday morning. Accumulations are to be light. A stronger pulse of moisture is to bring snow showers Thursday afternoon into Friday. Highs on Thursday to be in the mid to upper twenties. West winds are to increase during the day to averages between 30 and 35 mph during the afternoon. The snowpack is mostly stable below 9000 feet and the hazard is Low. Above 9000 feet the hazard is Moderate in the Teton and Togwotee Pass areas where is a chance to trigger wind slabs to eighteen inch depths in steep wind loaded avalanche paths. A very unlikely but possible chance also exists to trigger deeper slabs on Togwotee Pass area. In the Southwest trails area at higher elevations, the hazard remains low, although shallow wind slabs could be triggered above 9000 feet.
