Lo esencial

The avalanche hazard will rise from LOW this morning to MODERATE as the day progresses and sunlight and warm temperatures weaken the surface of the snowpack. This will increase the potential for humans to trigger shallow surface slabs and deeper hard slabs as well as the potential for wet slides to occur in steep terrain.

    At the higher elevations pockets of soft surface slab up a foot in depth could be human triggered in steep, wind loaded avalanche starting zones. Some potential also remains for deep hard slabs with depths to three feet to be human triggered in isolated areas. These hard slabs are most likely to be found on very steep slopes that face the north half of the compass and have not seen tracks yet. Some potential may also exist for very large avalanches to be triggered by snow machines in extreme terrain like the east face of Lava Mountain. Warming temperatures will increase the sensitivity of these slabs to release by human triggers.

Avalanche Discussion

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Spring like conditions will continue as the center of a high pressure ridge slowly moves across the region. Skies will once again be clear on Monday. Temperatures will drop to near 18 degrees by morning and will warm into the 30s and 40s during the day. Winds will be light and variable.The avalanche hazard will be generally low during the morning hours and increase to moderate, due to the warm temperatures, in the afternoon. At the upper elevations pockets of surface slab up to 18 inches in depth could be human triggered in some steep wind loaded avalanche starting zones. A remote possibility may persist for deeper hard slabs to be triggered in isolated areas in the Togwotee Pass area. Wet snow slides will be a concern in steep terrain during the warmest portion of the day.
