Kernpunkte

Dangerous avalanche conditions exist. Triggering avalanches will be likely in steep terrain as new snow and wind creates unstable conditions. Conservative terrain choices will be crucial in avoiding avalanches today.

    New snow and wind over the last 5 days has created unstable conditions. Slabs ranging from 1-4 feet in depth could be triggered in wind loaded terrain in the middle and upper elevations. Avalanches have the potential to break farther and wider than expected. Give all terrain a wide berth and be aware of terrain above today.

    Weak snow that formed in November sits near the base of the snowpack. While triggering an avalanche at these layers is low on the likelihood scale, the potential exists for avalanches failing in the upper portion of the snowpack to step down to older weak layers and create very large avalanches.

Avalanche Discussion

Over the past five days Togwotee has received 2-3 feet of new snow with up to 3 inches of Snow Water Equivalent. These amounts vary across the zone. Two days ago reports came in of multiple natural avalanches occurring in steep upper elevation terrain. Expect more of the same today, as loading from both snow and wind continues through the day.
