Lo esencial

Skiers and riders have the potential to trigger avalanches in steep terrain. This could occur in the well defined avalanche starting zones or in steep gullies and hillsides that may be considered small or not be obvious avalanche terrain.   Be mindful of  and avoid very steep terrain that looks wind loaded, or has yet been tracked.

    Weak snow layers can be found in most avalanche terrain at Togwotee.  The most sensitive areas to triggering a slide will be areas where recent snow has been blown by varying winds to create more stresses on the snow surface. Although these areas may look and initiate like a small wind slab, they are likely to involve deeper weak layers once they fail. Although the chance to trigger avalanches has decreased over the last few days, small avalanches could still be triggered on steep hillsides and larger avalanche could also fail in larger starting zones near peaks and cliff areas.  If triggered, slabs could have depths of anywhere from one to three feet. 

Avalanche Discussion

Caution is advised as this is a time when slabs have become less reactive and many slopes can be hit without event before one of similar characteristics fails. Watch for wind loaded areas but the best way to evaluate a slope under these condtions is to take a look at the underlying snowpack.
