Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE. Weak faceted snow persists at the base of the snowpack. Backcountry riders and skiers have the potential to trigger dangerous, full depth, hard slab avalanches as well as dense surface slabs to depths of two feet in steep avalanche terrain.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Light snow with little accumulation is expected overnight and through the day on Thursday. Temperatures are to rise into the low twenties and winds are to be light. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be:Moderate in the Teton area where pockets of human triggered dense surface slabs to three feet are possible in steep terrain.Moderate in the Togwotee Pass area where pockets of hard slabs to the ground are possible in very steep terrain.Considerable in Southwest Trails/Greys River area where surface slabs to two feet and dangerous hard slabs to the ground are possible in steep terrain.
