Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE today. Continued snowfall and yesterday's strong ridgetop winds have developed soft slabs to eighteen inches in depth in the backcountry. These slabs could be easily triggered today by backcountry riders on steep leeward slopes and may pull out deeper slabs to three feet in depth that lie upon slick hard crusts. A large slide with a three foot depth ran on Mann Peak Monday.
