Tetons

The general avalanche hazard is LOW at all elevations, as mostly stable snow exists. At the upper elevations, isolated pockets of surface slab up to 6 inches in depth could be triggered in steep wind loaded terrain. At lower elevations, cloudy skies should mitigate any solar effect, making wet slides unlikely. However, if sunny skies prevail throughout the day, the strong surface crust could break down, allowing for the possibility of wet slides.

Up to four inches of new snow are forecasted overnight then two to three inches during the day Tuesday as a weather system moves through. 9000 foot temperatures will be in the upper teens Tuesday and ridgecrest winds will be westerly at twenty miles per hour with gusts to thirty five.AVALANCHE HAZARD FORECAST FOR THE TETON, TOGWOTEE PASS, AND SOUTHWEST TRAILS AREAS:The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW at all elevations tomorrow morning and may increase with snow and wind through the day.
