Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE at the higher elevations (9,000 to 10,500 feet) and LOW increasing to MODERATE as temperatures rise at the mid and lower elevations (below 9,000 feet). At the higher elevations slabs to three feet in depth persist in very steep avalanche starting zones and cliff areas. The potential to release these slabs especially by larger triggers such as snow amachines will increase as temperatures rise. As the day warms the potential for wet slides to occur on very steep sunlit slopes at all elevations will increase.
