Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The snowpack is mostly stable. At the higher elevations a remote chance may persist for snowmobilers to trigger deep hard slab avalanches in isolated avalanche paths. Normal caution is advised.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Skies will be cloudy overnight and mostly to partly cloudy on Wednesday. Periods of light to moderate snowfall are likely overnight with accumulations of several inches possible at the higher elevations. Snow showers are likely in the morning and will become less likely in the afternoon. Temperatures will be in the teens and 20s in the mountains and in the 20s and 30s in the valleys. Winds will veer to the northwest and slowly decrease from average speeds of 25 to 20 to average speeds of 15 to 10 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE at the upper elevations where small pockets of dense wind slab could be triggered by humans who venture into steep avalanche starting zones. Some potential may persist for deeper hard slabs up to three feet deep to be triggered by snowmobiles in some upper elevation avalanche paths in the Togwotee Pass area. The avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW below an elevation of 8,500 feet.
