Tetons

The general avalanche hazard is LOW at all elevations in the morning. However low hazard does not mean no hazard. At the upper elevations isolated pockets of surface slab up to one foot in depth exist in steep wind loaded starting zones and cliff areas. If triggered these slabs could sweep a skier or snowboarder over a cliff or bury someone in a terrain trap. The hazard at the mid and upper elevations will increase to MODERATE as temperatures rise into the 40'S. Wet slides are possible in the afternoon especially in the highest peaks of the Tetons. At the lower elevations the snowpack is patchy and avalanches are unlikley except for isolated wet slides on the steepest snow covered slopes.
