Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. Several inches of new snow that fell during the past couple of days lies upon a stable snowpack that has undergone repeated melt-freeze cycles. The snowpack is mostly stable however humans who venture into extreme terrain at the upper elevations may have some potential to trigger shallow loose snow sluffs and/or isolated pockets of soft, surface slab up to eight inches deep.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Unstable moist flow will continue to bring snow to localized areas overnight and through Saturday. Snowfall resulting from these systems may be heavy at times although short in duration and distribution. Temperatures should rise into the upper twenties in the mountains and the upper thirties at low elevations where some rain is potential to fall. Winds are to be light. The general avalanche hazard will be LOW. Above 8500' backcountry travelers have the potential to trigger new snow sluffs or potentially shallow soft surface slabs in very steep terrain.
