Togwotee Pass

The avalanche danger is Low today. Isolated pockets of shallow wind slab may be encountered along high elevation ridgelines and peaks. These slabs will be small in volume and more of an issue in terrain where a fall would carry high consequences. In all other terrain avalanches are unlikely. Always follow safe travel protocols by exposing only one person at a time and carrying and knowing how to use rescue gear.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )High pressure will continue its influence over the region. Skies will be mostly clear tonight and mostly sunny tomorrow. Overnight lows will be in the teens in the mountains with valley locations dipping into the single digits. Temperatures will rise into the mid twenties at 8,000-9,000 feet and valley locations will climb into the low twenties. Ridgetop winds will be out of the west overnight and shift to northwest for part of the day tomorrow. Wind speeds will be in the 20-25 mph range. Avalanches will be unlikely tomorrow. The danger will be Low. Remember that Low danger does not mean ‘no’ danger. Isolated pockets of unstable shallow wind slab could be encountered in very steep upper elevation terrain. Continue to follow safe travel protocols and be aware of other groups. Minimize your exposure in steep terrain by traveling one at a time and utilizing islands of safety.
