Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The snowpack is generally stable but be alert to isolated areas of slabs up to 18 inches in depth that rest on a weak base and could be user triggered. Suspect slopes are likely to be steep, shaded and at upper elevations. Avalanches are unlikely below an elevation of 8,500 feet where the snow is generally less than a foot deep.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )High pressure will keep things dry Tuesday. Morning lows will be in the mid teens with daytime highs in the upper twenties. Winds on the ridges will be westerly at 20 - 25 miles per hour.At upper elevations on steep, northerly aspects in the Tetons the avalanche hazard will be Moderate. Weaknesses within the snowpack will hold the possibility for people to trigger firm slabs to three feet in depth. Avalanches will be hard to predict with triggers possibly from heavier loads or someone finding the thin, weak area of a slab. Careful route finding and snowpack evaluation is advised for travel in these areas.In the Togwotee Pass/Continental Divide and Greys River/Southwest Trails areas the hazard is expected to be Low. Firm slabs to two feet in depth could be triggered by users on isolated, steep, northerly slopes at upper elevations.
