Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The snowpack is mostly stable. Humans who venture into very steep avalanche starting zones may have some potential to triggered isolated pockets of surface slab up to a foot deep. Normal precautions and safe travel practices are always advised in steep avalanche prone terrain. These practices include only having one person at a time on suspect slopes and always carrying avalanche rescue gear.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A benign weather pattern will continue to bring limited moisture to the region. On Wednesday skies will be partly sunny to partly cloudy with areas of fog possible during the morning hours. Temperatures will be inverted in the morning with lows near ten below zero in the valleys and near zero at 10,500 feet. Daytime highs should rise into the teens at all elevations. Ridgecrest winds will be north to northwest at 15 to 20 miles per hour. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW. The recent north to northwest winds may have created some isolated pockets of new wind slab up to a foot deep on leeward aspects along the highest ridgelines. Caution is always advised in steep avalanche prone terrain and cliff areas.
