Togwotee Pass

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. Above 9,000 feet, isolated pockets of dense slab up to 18 inches deep lie upon weak, old snow surfaces. Some potential persists for backcountry travelers to trigger these slabs in steep, wind-loaded starting zones. Below 9,000 feet, the snowpack is shallow and avalanche activity is unlikely.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Some flurries could be seen Sunday night as the upper-level trough exits the region ahead of a transitory ridge of high pressure that builds in on Monday. Temperatures in the mountains are expected to dip into the teens before rising into the low 20s tomorrow. The valley should also experience overnight lows in the teens, and daytime highs near 30.The general avalanche hazard is expected to remain LOW. Backcountry travelers should avoid steep, upper-elevation, northerly aspects where isolated pockets of dense slab up to two feet in depth lie upon old, October snow.
