Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The General Avalanche Hazard is CONSIDERABLE today. Strong west winds, new snow, warming temperatures, a buried weak layer of faceted snow and slick old snow surfaces have created unstable conditions. Soft slabs up to three feet in depth are likely to be easily triggered in steep wind loaded avalanche starting zones. More snow may have fallen during the past five days in the Salt River Range than in the Wyoming Range and therefor the hazard may be higher in the Salt River Range.
