Togwotee Pass

The snowpack is mostly stable and the general avalanche hazard is LOW. However at the highest elevations some potential may remain for larger triggers, such as snowmachines, to trigger isolated pockets of wind slab up to 18 inches deep in very steep, wind loaded avalanche starting zones.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )A large trough off of the Pacific Coast will move inland. Skies are expected to become cloudy overnight. On Wednesday snow is forecast to develop in the mountains during the morning hours and become more widespread in the afternoon and evening. Several inches of new snow could accumulate at the higher elevations. Temperatures will drop into the 20s overnight and rise into the 30s ahead of an approaching cold front. Winds will be south to southwest at 25 to 35 miles per hour with higher gusts.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW. The snowpack is mostly stable. Humans who venture into very steep avalanche starting zones at the higher elevations (9,000 to 10,500 feet) could trigger isolated pockets of wind slab six to 18 inches deep.
