Togwotee Pass

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE above an elevation of 9,000 feet. People venturing into steep avalanche prone terrain could trigger slab avalanches up to two feet deep. Below an elevation of 9,000 feet the snowpack is mostly stable and the general avalanche hazard is LOW.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Pacific moisture ahead of a cold front will move into western Wyoming Monday bringing areas of light snow over the mountains. Winds will be westerly at 25 in the morning then move to northwesterly and slow in the afternoon. Accumulations of two to three inches of snow are forecasted by Monday evening.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE at upper elevations (9,000 to 10,500 feet). People who travel into very steep avalanche starting zones could release slab avalanches to 20 inches in depth. Avalanches are unlikely at the mid and lower elevations where the hazard is expected to be LOW.
