Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

Human triggered avalanches are possible on steep avalanche prone slopes and in active slide paths. Soft surface slabs one to two feet in depth could be triggered by skiers or riders at all elevations. In isolated areas older slabs with depths to four feet could also be released, especially by larger triggers like snow machines. Conservative terrain choices are recommended.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Winds will veer to the north and east as a storm system passes to the south and heads towards the plains. A wrap around flow associated with the system will bring cold temperatures and brisk northeasterly winds to western Wyoming. Skies will be partly cloudy. Temperatures will be in the single digits. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE. Human triggered avalanches are possible on steep avalanche prone slopes and active slide paths. Soft surface slabs one to two feet in depth could be triggered by skiers or riders and deeper hard slabs with depths to five feet are possible especially with larger triggers such as snow machines or groups of people. Conservative terrain choices are recommended.
