Togwotee Pass

The general avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE in steep wind loaded avalanche prone areas which are underlain by old layers of weak faceted October snow. In these areas dangerous dense slabs up to three feet in depth could be triggered by riders or skiers. As these slabs become more stable riders or skiers may get further onto these slabs or cross multiple times before they are triggered. Avalanches are unlikely in areas not underlain by weak faceted old snow surfaces.
