Tetons

The snowpack is mostly stable and avalanche activity is unlikely except for small wind slabs at the upper elevations in steep terrain. These slabs were formed by strong southwest to northwest winds and will be less than a foot in depth. Although the slabs will be small, they have the potential to knock someone off their feet and could result in high consequences in extreme terrain. Backcountry travelers should use safe travel protocols of traveling one at a time through avalanche terrain and carry rescue gear.

High pressure will continue to dictate the weather. Winds will back from the northwest to the west overnight and be in the 15-20 mph range during the day. Skies will be mostly sunny. Valley inversions will set up overnight with low elevations dipping into the single digits. Those inversions will break down during the day with temperatures rising into the low twenties in the valleys. Ridgetops will be in the teens overnight with daytime highs reaching the mid twenties. Aside from isolated pockets of wind slab in very steep terrain, avalanches will be unlikely tomorrow. Despite this it remains important to follow good travel habits by traveling one at a time in steep terrain, using clear communication and being equipped for rescue. This will allow for a buffer if pockets of unstable snow are encountered.
