Togwotee Pass

Snow that fell on Saturday and Monday lies upon firm old snow surfaces that formed during an extended dry period. Avalanche hazards are limited to small slab avalanches and loose snow sloughs in very steep avalanche prone terrain. Humans who venture into steep avalanche starting zones and cliff areas could trigger isolated pockets of slab up to a foot in depth and loose snow sloughs. Even small slides can become dangerous in terrain with consequences, like steep confined couloirs, cliff areas and slopes above terrain traps. Today's sunshine may cause some wet loose snow sloughs to release naturally on steep sunlit aspects.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Skies are expected to clear off after sunset and be mostly sunny on Wednesday. Temperatures will fall into the upper single digits overnight and rise into the 20’s during the day. Winds will be light and back from the northeast through north to the west. Avalanches hazards are limited to small slab avalanches and loose snow sloughs in very steep avalanche prone terrain at the higher elevations. Up there, humans could trigger pockets of soft slab 6 to 18 inches deep. Even small slides can become dangerous in terrain with consequences, like steep confined couloirs, cliff areas and slopes above terrain traps. The general avalanche hazard rating is expected to be moderate at the upper elevation in the Teton forecast area and low everywhere else.
