Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

New snow is falling on a stable snowpack with hard, slick wind-hammered snow or crusts in the majority of avalanche terrain. With only an inch of snow recorded yesterday and another inch possible today, the avalanche danger will remain Low. If snow showers increase in intensity, backcountry skiers and riders should watch out for very small wind formed slabs or drifts, especially in unforgiving terrain where even a small amount of moving snow could have serious consequences.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )More snow showers arrive tomorrow morning and seem likely to bring a bit more moisture than today, and also bring a couple inches to the Greys area. Northwest flow will bring temperatures in the teens and lower twenties as well as a slight increase in wind speeds, to twenty mph, gusting to thirty. Given the paltry snowfall totals, expect Low avalanche danger again tomorrow with some concerns about loose, dry sluffing in sheltered, northerly terrain and possibly small, isolated pockets of wind slab near ridges. The icy crust or hard old surfaces could make the wind slabs more of a problem where they exist in very steep or consequential terrain.
