Tetons

At the mid and upper elevations areas of unstable snow persist on steep, avalanche prone slopes underlain by a base of weak, faceted snow. Backcountry travelers could trigger hard slab avalanches one to three feet deep in these steep areas. Slides could be triggered by the first person on a slope or after a slope has been crossed multiple times. Avalanches are unlikely at the lower elevations.

The General Avalanche Danger will continue at MODERATE above 8,000 feet due to areas of persistent unstable snow. Backcountry travelers on steep, avalanche terrain could trigger a hard-slab avalanche to three feet in depth. These slides could be started by a single person or, after a slope has been crossed multiple times. Persistent hard slabs are sometimes triggered lower on a slope than softer slabs. At the lower elevations the general avalanche hazard is LOW and avalanches are unlikely.
