Salt River and Wyoming Ranges
Avalanche danger
Highlights
The early season snowpack is mostly stable. Isolated pockets of shallow slabs may exist in very steep wind loaded terrain at the high elevations. Be cautious of the hazards involved with low snow depths. Below 8500', slopes are barely covered, therefore the avalanche danger is not rated.
Avalanche Discussion
( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )The ridge is to continue to build through Tuesday and last for several more days. Mild temperature inversions conditions could develop starting tonight. Tomorrow morning looks to be near zero in the valleys and near ten degrees in the mountains. In the afternoons, all elevations could reach into the low to mid thirties. The avalanche danger will continue to be low. The early season snowpack is generally stable although these weather conditions promote the development of crust and facet layers that can be problematic during future storms.
