Togwotee Pass

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. Lower temperatures have created hard melt-freeze crusts in most areas. Forecasted sunshine has the potential to break down the crust on steeper, sunlit slopes. Those areas should be avoided in the afternoon.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Light snowfall will end by midnight then a high pressure ridge will move into the area bringing dry conditions for Tuesday. Temperatures will warm to the mid 20s and winds will be westerly at 10 miles per hour. The General Avalanche Hazard is expected to be MODERATE at upper elevations in the Tetons and LOW in the Greys River and Togwotee Pass areas. Backcountry travellers will have the potential to release soft slabs to 10 inches in depth on steep lee slopes. Wet loose slides may become a hazard by afternoon on steep, sunlit slopes.
