Togwotee Pass

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE above an elevation of 8,000 feet and LOW below that elevation. At the higher elevations the potential persists for people to trigger full depth, hard slab avalanches on some steep slopes. These deep slabs could be triggered by a single skier or may release after a slope has been crossed multiple times by snow machines. The potential to trigger one of these avalanches will increase as the day warms.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. ) Building high pressure will keep skies clear Monday. Morning low temperatures will be in the mid teens then climb into the upper twenties to low thirties during the day. Winds on exposed ridges will be southwesterly and very light.In the Teton Area the general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE. People who venture into steep avalanche terrain could trigger surface slabs up to two feet deep.The general avalanche hazard in the Continental Divide/Togwotee Pass area is expected to be MODERATE. Backcountry users on steep slopes have the potential to trigger full depth hard slabs. The general avalanche hazard in the Southwest Trails/Greys River area is expected to be CONSIDERABLE. People traveling on steep slopes could trigger soft surface slabs up to two feet deep and/or full depth hard slabs.Periods of sustained, warm temperatures will increase the possibility for people to trigger slides in all areas.
