Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

Mostly stable snow exist. The potential for humans to trigger hard slab avalanches with depths to three feet is limited to extreme terrain and isolated areas on northerly aspects at the upper elevations and would likely require a larger trigger like a snowmachine. Suspect areas include very steep, rocky terrain where faceted snow persist at the base of the snowpack and the snow cover is thinner.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A weak weather system rapidly moving from west to east will bring clouds and the chance for snow flurries to the mountains. These clouds should dissipate early in the afternoon on Tuesday. Temperatures will drop into the 20s overnight and rise into the 30s during the day. Winds along the summits will be westerly at 10 to 15 miles per hour with higher gusts.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE in the Togwotee Pass area where human triggered hard slab avalanches could be triggered to depths of three feet in steep, rocky, north facing terrain above an elevation of 9,000 feet. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW in the Teton and Greys River areas. In those areas mostly stable snow exist and avalanches are unlikely except in isolated areas on northerly aspects above an elevation of 9,000 feet.
