Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

At the higher elevations riders and skiers could trigger small pockets of wind slab up to 18 inches in depth, in isolated areas. The potential for humans to trigger one of these isolated slabs or a shallow wet snow slough will increase during the warmest portion of the day. Assess terrain for the consequences of being caught by one of these shallow slides. Avalanches are unlikely at the mid elevations. Very shallow snow depths and bare ground can be found below an elevation of 7,500 feet.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Skies will be mostly clear above areas of morning valley fog. Tomorrow's temperatures will be similar to todays. Winds will be northwesterly at 15 to 20 miles per hour with higher gusts.At the upper elevations (9,000 to 10,500 feet) some potential may remain for skiers or riders to trigger shallow pockets of wind slab 6 to 18 inches deep in isolated terrain features. Avalanches are unlikely at the mid elevations (7,500 to 9,000 feet). Very little snow exists below an elevation of 7,500 feet. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW.
