Tetons

High pressure, clear skies, and inversion conditions continue to dominate. Avalanches are unlikely at this time. Use caution to navigate the hazards associated with a shallow snowpack. Extended dry periods promote weak snow and crust formation that can be problematic during future storms. Take note of where faceted snow and hard melt-freeze crusts currently lie in order to make safe travel decisions later.

No precipitation is expected through Wednesday night as the high-pressure ridge remains over the region. Temperatures will continue to be inverted. Highs will rise into the 30’s. Southwest winds will begin to increase ahead of an approaching Pacific trough.The snowpack is mostly stable, and avalanches are unlikely. Avalanche activity has been quite limited since the end of a storm cycle in mid-November.
