Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is Considerable. Snow received this week lies in the form of soft slabs in avalanche terrain. Skiers and snowmobilers venturing onto steep avalanche starting zones have the potential to trigger these slabs to depths of two feet.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )The southern areas may see a few inches of snow tonight, while most of the region experiences continued occasional flurries. Temperatures look to rise from near ten below in the morning to the single digits during the day while skies become partly sunny. Winds will be light. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be Considerable in the Southwest Trails/Greys River Area and Moderate in the Teton and Togwotee Pass areas. In steep avalanche terrain in the Southwest Trails area slabs to two feet in depth could be triggered by skiers or riders. In the Tetons, pockets of slab with similar depths could be triggered while in the Togwotee Pass area pockets to eighteen inch depths remain susceptible to human triggering.
