Tetons

Isolated pockets of shallow soft slab lie upon slick old snow surfaces and could be triggered by skiers or riders in very steep terrain. These slabs are limited in size and pose their greatest hazard to those who venture into cliff areas, steep couloirs, corniced areas, and onto steep slopes above terrain traps.

Limited Pacific moisture remains in the southwest flow moving across western Wyoming from an upper level low pressure area over northern California. The result will be patchy clouds and a chance of very light snowfall Sunday night and Monday. Lows will drop to zero again tonight and rise to the mid teens tomorrow. Winds along the ridge crests will continue to be light out of the southwest.AVALANCHE HAZARD FORECAST FOR THE TETON AREA, PORTIONS OF THE TOGWOTEE PASS / CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AREA WEST OF AND ALONG THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE GREYS RIVER / SOUTHWEST TRAILS AREA: The general avalanche hazard is expected to remain LOW. Mostly stable snow exists and avalanches are unlikely except in isolated wind loaded pockets. Use caution in extreme terrain, particularly on sunlit aspects where a strong sun crust provides a good sliding surface for small avalanches.FOR THE UPPER GREEN RIVER BASIN AND THE EASTERN AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE GREYS RIVER / SOUTHWEST TRAILS AREA. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE. Areas of soft surface slabs up to 18 inches in depth exist. Caution is advised on steep, wind loaded slopes with significant accumulations of new snow. Backcountry users are advised to consult area specific forecasts issued every morning as new information may become available and unexpected weather can change conditions.
