Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The avalanche hazard is limited to steep terrain above 9000 feet where recent snow lies upon hard crusts that formed in October. In those areas isolated pockets of soft wind slab to depths of ten inches could be triggered by humans in very steep terrain. Avalanche hazard is not a concern in areas where the recent new snow has accumulated on bare ground.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )High pressure is to build tonight but be short lived as a low pressure system is to move into the area tomorrow afternoon, bringing increased chances of snow. Snowfall is expected Wednesday night into Thursday at all elevations. Wednesday’s high temperatures look to be in the mid-twenties in the mountains and the mid-thirties in the valleys. The general avalanche hazard is expected to Low above 9000 feet. At high elevations soft slabs could be triggered in steep terrain where recently fallen snow lies upon old snow topped with a rain crust. Caution is advised as even small slides could sweep skiers or riders into boulders or other low snowpack hazards.
