Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE. Skiers and riders could trigger isolated pockets of wind slab up to a foot deep in steep avalanche starting zones. The possibility may also persist for backcountry travelers to trigger a full depth, hard-slab avalanche on steep slopes in isolated areas. The potential for people to trigger a full depth, hard-slab avalanche will increase as the day warms.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A Pacific low-pressure system will continue to bring light snow showers to the mountains of western Wyoming ending by sunrise Sunday. Accumulations will be light. Sunday will see partly cloudy skies and temperatures rise into the thirties as high pressure builds into the area. Winds along the exposed ridges will be in the teens from the northeast. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW in the Teton area and MODERATE in the Continental Divide/Togwotee Pass and Southwest Trails/Greys River areas. At the higher elevations isolated pockets of wind slab up to 18 inches deep could be triggered in steep avalanche starting zones and cliff areas. In the Togwotee Pass and Greys River areas some potential may persist for people on steep slopes to trigger full depth hard slabs.
