Togwotee Pass

The avalanche hazard is MODERATE above an elevation of 9000 feet where backcountry users could trigger pockets of slab up to 18 inches in depth. These slabs are most likely to found in very steep wind loaded terrain in and around rocky or cliff areas. Below 9000 feet avalanches are unlikely except for in isolated pockets in very steep terrain.
