Tetons

Backcountry travelers could trigger newly formed wind slabs up to two feet in depth in steep, wind loaded terrain. Some chance persists for deeper releases up to 5 feet. As the day warms, any extended periods of sunshine will make these slabs, along with loose snow sluffs, more susceptible to failure and natural releases will be possible. Sunlit slopes and the terrain beneath them should be avoided in the afternoon. At the lower elevations, the snowpack is mostly stable and avalanches are unlikely.
