Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE above 8,000 feet. Backcountry skiers and riders could trigger dangerous hard slab avalanches up to three feet deep in steep, avalanche-prone terrain. While this deep slab instability persists on all aspects, it is most likely to present itself on east to north facing terrain. These slopes may fail after being crossed several times. Be cautious, evaluate the snowpack carefully, and pick your routes wisely. Below 8,000 feet, avalanches are unlikely.

Overnight lows in the mountains will dip into the upper teens before rising into the low 30s during the day. Valley lows will be a little cooler overnight and then rise into the low 30s.The avalanche hazard is expected to remain MODERATE above 8000 feet.
