Togwotee Pass

The General Avalanche Hazard is CONSIDERABLE. Dangerous slabs up to 4 feet in depth remain very sensitive to triggers on a variety of aspects. Saturday two snowmobilers triggered a large slide in the Greys River area on an Easterly aspect at 9,500 feet, burying both and resulting in one fatality. Avalanches were also started by skiers on Angle Mountain Saturday. Good hazard evaluation and routefinding skills are essential for safe travel in avalanche terrain today.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )The Avalanche Watch has been cancelled as the avalanche danger, particularly the chance of naturally triggered slides, has declined. However, the General Avalanche Hazard will remain CONSIDERABLE on Monday. Dangerous slabs up to 5 feet in depth continue to be very susceptible to human triggers on a variety of aspects above 7,500 feet. Don't be lured by the tracks of individuals willing to accept a high level of risk. Current conditions require that each party make their own hazard evaluations and make conservative decisions based on those findings.High pressure and clear skies will create strong valley inversions. 10,000 foot temperatures will rise to near ten degrees f. with light North winds.
