Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE. Winds that veered from the southwest to the northwest have formed isolated pockets of new soft slab up to 10 inches deep along the highest ridge crests. The new snow has increased the load on a snowpack with persistent weaknesses at the base of the snowpack and one to two feet beneath the old snow surface. Humans who venture onto steep slopes could triggered full depth hard slabs and/or soft surface slabs up to two feet deep. These dangerous slabs could be triggered by the weight of a single skier or could fail after a slope has been crossed multiple times by snowmachines.
