Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard remains MODERATE. Old hard slabs up to three feet in depth lie on a persistant weak base of faceted snow. Although the snowpack has become more stable, user triggered slides remain possible in steep, wind loaded avalanche prone terrain primarily on northerly aspects. The surface strength of these hard slabs may make it possible to make multiple passes over a slope before it fails. If forecasted snow amounts are received the chance of triggering soft surface slides will increase on lee slopes and on smooth sun crusts.
