Tetons

Mostly stable snow exists however, west to northwest winds have formed isolated pockets of new soft slab up to 18 inches deep. Yesterday skiers triggered a soft slab avalanche on the approach to St. Pattys Day Couloir south of the boundary of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Similar events could be triggered today by humans who venture into steep avalanche starting zones and cliff areas. The potential for humans to trigger these isolated pockets of slab will increase as the day progresses and temperatures rise.
