Salt River and Wyoming Ranges
Avalanche danger
Highlights
The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE and will increase as the day warms. Slabs up to two feet in depth persist on steep slopes and in known avalanche paths, cliff areas and on the steep wind loaded walls of cirques and basins. These slabs could be triggered by the weight of a single skier or a person on a snowmachine. The potential for humans to trigger these slabs will increase as temperatures warm. Wet slides are also possible on steep sunlit slopes.
Avalanche Discussion
( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Skies are expected to be mostly clear above areas of morning valley fog and some mid and low level clouds. Temperatures will rise into the 20s. Winds will be light from the west to southwest. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE. Soft slabs up to two feet in depth exist and could be triggered by the weight of a single person. The potential to trigger one of these slabs will increase as the day warms.
