Kernpunkte
The General Avalanche Hazard is LOW. Isolated pockets of surface slab up to 18 inches in depth could be triggered by backcountry travelers in steep, wind-loaded avalanche starting zones. These avalanches will become more susceptible to failure as the day warms, along with the chance of shallow wet slides on lower elevation, sunlit slopes.
Avalanche Discussion
( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Mostly clear to partly cloudy skies are expected for Sunday. Ridgetop winds will veer to the north at 5 to 15 miles per hour. Overnight lows at all elevations will be in the low teens before rising into the mid 20s in the mountains and low to mid 30s in the valley on Sunday.The general avalanche hazard is expected to remain MODERATE at the upper elevations of the Teton Area. Wind slabs up to two feet in depth, which rest upon buried surface hoar and/or firm surfaces, could be triggered by backcountry travelers in steep, wind-loaded avalanche starting zones. These slabs will become more susceptible to failure as the day warms. The general avalanche hazard in the Teton Area below 9,000 feet, the Togwotee Pass/Continental Divide Area, and the Greys River/Southwest Trails Area is expected to be LOW.
