Togwotee Pass

The snowpack is mostly stable. At the highest elevations isolated pockets of wind slab are a potential risk to humans who venture into extreme terrain like steep couloirs, chutes and cliff areas. These small slabs are likely to be less than a foot in depth and could knock a person over and carry them down very steep terrain features. Today’s sunshine may soften snow surfaces on steep sunlit aspects. Monitor conditions for increasing wet snow avalanche hazards during the warmest portion of the day.
