What happened
The episode as NWS RIW wrote it up.
An avalanche on Ranger Peak killed two backcountry skiers Wednesday, March 7. The skiers were found the following day after a family member reported one of them missing. The avalanche occurred at 10,500 feet and swept the skiers 3,000 vertical feet down Waterfalls Canyon. Searchers found one skier 150 feet from the end of the avalanche and the other up the canyon 1,500 feet away. The skiers were found near the surface of debris six feet deep at noon on Thursday, March 8.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 7, 10:46 AM MST, 1 hour 14 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RIVERTON WY 1046 AM MST WED MAR 7 2012 .SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT GUSTY WINDS AND PERIODS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW LINGER ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE OVERNIGHT. THE ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO PROGRESS EASTWARD THROUGH THE DAY AS A RIDGE FOLDS OVER THE AREA BY TONIGHT. ONCE THIS SYSTEM CLEARS THE AREA...CALM AND MILD WEATHER WILL HOLD ON THOUGH THE END OF THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. SNOW WILL END FROM NORTH TO SOUTH TODAY WITH SNOW ENDING OVER CENTRAL BASINS BY NOON...EXCEPT FOR A FEW LINGERING FLURRIES IN FAVORED UPSLOPE AREAS INTO THE AFTERNOON. ROADS COULD BE QUITE SLIPPERY FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE AS THE SNOW AHEAD AND ALONG WITH THE FRONT WAS FAIRLY WET...ONCE THE FRONT PASSED MUCH COLDER AIR MOVED IN...TURNING ANY WET MELTING SNOW INTO BLACK ICE. TRAVELERS ARE URGED TO USE CAUTION THIS MORNING DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE. CLOUDY SKIES WILL LIKELY KEEP TEMPERATURES ON THE COOL SIDE TODAY. MANY AREAS WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY CLIMBING ABOVE FREEZING...HOWEVER AREAS OF THE BIGHORN BASIN AND JOHNSON COUNTY...AND POSSIBLY EVEN PORTIONS OF NATRONA AND FREMONT COUNTIES COULD CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 30S AS SKIES CLEAR LATE THIS MORNING. ALL SNOW WILL CLEAR THE STATE BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT WITH THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN WYOMING HOLDING ONTO THE MOISTURE THE LONGEST. HIGH PRESSURE AND WARMER AIR MOVE INTO THE WEST THIS EVENING...SPREADING EAST OVERNIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF FRESH SNOWCOVER...WAA AND LIGHT WINDS WILL INTRODUCE A POSSIBILITY OF FOG FORMATION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN VALLEYS WHERE THE WAA WILL BE MORE PRONOUNCED...BUT SOME BCFG CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN CENTRAL VALLEYS AND BASINS. TEMPERATURE FORECASTS FOR THURSDAY WILL BE DIFFICULT AS HIGH TEMPS WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON HOW MUCH SNOW MELTS DURING THE DAY TODAY AND HOW MUCH IS LEFTOVER FOR THURSDAY. AT THIS TIME...TEMPERATURES ARE BASED UPON THE THEORY THAT THE VALLEYS WILL NOT HOLD ENOUGH SNOW COVER TO PREVENT MIXING BY THE AFTERNOON. ANOTHER CLEAR CALM NIGHT WITH STRONGER WAA IS EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...FOG FORMATION IS POSSIBLE AGAIN. ONCE THE FOG AND STRATUS CLEAR ON FRIDAY MORNING...TEMPERATURES COULD RISE INTO THE UPPER 50S AND EVEN LOW 60S GIVEN THE H7 TEMPS RISING ABOVE +4C BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON...IN ADDITION TO CLEAR SKIES AND A DECENT TEMPERATURE GRADIENT SHOWING UP ALONG THE ABSAROKAS AND THE WIND RIVER MOUNTAINS...THIS COULD ENCOURAGE SOME WEAK DOWNSLOPE WARMING ALONG THE FOOTHILLS...BUT OVERALL...WINDS WILL NOT BE STRONG ENOUGH TO DERAIL ANY OUTDOOR PLANS. .LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY SATURDAY...DRY...MILD AND GENERALLY LIGHT WIND ACROSS THE WEST AND CENTRAL. SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING SLIGHT CHANCES OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTHWEST AND FAR WEST LATE SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. DRY...BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE SOUTH AND CENTRAL. SPREAD AMONG MEDIUM RANGE MODELS AT THE START OF THIS PERIOD MAINLY INVOLVE UPPER LOW EJECTING OUT OF SOUTHERN ROCKIES INTO CENTRAL PLAINS...WITH LITTLE OR NO IMPACT ON CENTRAL WYOMING. UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES NW COAST SATURDAY RESULTING IN SW FLOW OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. SEVERAL SHORTWAVES EJECT INTO NORTHERN ROCKIES IN THIS FLOW. THE ECMWF IS FASTER AND WEAKER THAN GFS WITH FIRST IN A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES LATE SUNDAY. GFS STRONGER/SLOWER SOLUTION RESULTS IN MORE RIDGING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES ON TUESDAY BETWEEN ITS STRONGER DOWNSTREAM SHORTWAVE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPSTREAM TROUGH ALONG THE NW COAST. PREFERRED ECMWF MAINTAINS SW FLOW STEADY STREAM OF MOISTURE INTO NW WYOMING...A WEAKER FRONT BRINGING LITTLE IF ANY COOLING TO CENTRAL AREAS BEHIND SUNDAY NIGHT FRONT AND NO BREAK IN WINDY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE WIND CORRIDOR FROM RKS-CPR. TEMPERATURES ADJUSTED TO THE WARMER GUIDANCE THROUGH THE PERIOD AND WINDS BUMPED UPWARD THROUGH THE WIND CORRIDORS. && .AVIATION.../18Z ISSUANCE/ WIDESPREAD VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY UNDER AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE. HOWEVER...THESE BENIGN CONDITIONS WITH GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES OVERNIGHT MAY RESULT IN THE FORMATION OF SOME MORNING FOG OVER THE LOW LYING TERMINALS. PATCHY FOG MAY RESULT IN PERIODS OF MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS AT IMPACTED TERMINALS. VCFG CONTINUES IN THE GOING FORECAST PACKAGE...WITH TIMING AND INTENSITY STILL BEING EVALUATED. MOST FOG LOOKS TO LIFT BY AROUND 16Z THURSDAY MORNING...LEAVING CONTINUED VFR CONDITIONS FOR THURSDAY. && .FIRE WEATHER... SNOW WILL LINGER ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN WYOMING THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...WITH CLEARING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH THEREAFTER...ALL SNOW SHOULD END LATE THIS EVENING. THEN A WARMING TREND UNDER HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. DAYTIME HUMIDITY WILL BE FAIRLY LOW BY FRIDAY IN AREAS WITH NO SNOW COVER. && .RIW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM...ALLEN LONG TERM...AEM AVIATION...BRANHAM FIRE WEATHER...ALLEN
