Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE. Surface slabs to eighteen inches in depth could be triggered in steep wind loaded avalanche starting zones today. The potential also continues on some slopes to trigger large, deeper, hard slabs involving weak faceted snow at the base of the snow pack.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )After snow tapers off tonight, skies are to be partly cloudy on Thursday with mountain high temperatures in the low twenties and North winds at 15-20 mph. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE on Thursday throughout Western Wyoming. Surface slabs to one foot in depth that lie in steep wind loaded terrain will be susceptible to skier triggers and the possibility to trigger deeper, larger slides will exist in the Southwest Trails/Greys River area.
