Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The snowpack is mostly stable and conditions are generally safe. However low hazard does not mean no hazard exists. Small pockets of recently formed wind slab up to a foot in depth could be triggered in very steep terrain above an elevation of 9,000 feet. Deeper events may be a remote possibility in extreme terrain like the starting zones of major avalanche paths, especially with larger triggers such as snow machines.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A westerly flow at the mid-level of the atmosphere is overrunning a cold north-northeast flow at the lower levels. This scenario will cause areas of low stratus clouds, patchy fog and areas of light snowfall on Sunday. Temperatures will be in the single digits in the morning and rise into the teens and 20s during the day. Winds will be northeast at 5 to 15 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW in the Teton and Greys River/Southwest Trails areas and MODERATE in the Togwotee Pass. Isolated pockets of surface slabs up to a foot in depth could be human triggered in very steep terrain in the Teton and Southwest Trails areas. There is a remote change for snowmobiles to trigger large hard slabs up to three feet deep on very steep northerly aspects in the Togwotee Pass area.
