Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

A shallow, early season snowpack exists, and conditions are mostly stable. However, backcountry travelers venturing into very steep terrain features at the highest elevations might be able to trigger an isolated pocket of surface slab with depths up to 10 inches. Below 8,500 feet, conditions consist of bare ground or shallow snow with depths of six inches or less.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Expect mostly cloudy skies along with a chance for light, scattered snow showers on Wednesday. Overnight lows in the mountains will be in the low teens before rising back into the upper teens during the day. Northwesterly ridgetop winds will back to the west at 15 to 25 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW on Wednesday. In steep, wind loaded terrain at the higher elevations, backcountry travelers might be able to trigger an isolated pocket of surface slab. While these slides are likely to be small, they have the potential to carry skiers and riders into compromising terrain, such as shallowly buried rock outcroppings and scree fields.
