Salt River and Wyoming Ranges

The general avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE today. DANGEROUS soft slabs up to three feet in depth have been formed by strong southwest winds. These slabs lie upon a weak snowpack comprised of hard crusts and weak faceted snow and could be triggered on steep wind loaded avalanche slopes today. Use caution as these slabs may vary in sensitivity and may show obvious signs of instability or may seem stable and then fail after a slope has been ridden or crossed several times.
