Tetons
Avalanche danger
Highlights
At the upper elevations isolated pockets of shallow wind slab formed by northerly winds exist and in isolated areas on very steep shaded aspects, pockets of dense slab up to two feet in depth could be human triggered in extreme terrain. The potential to trigger these slabs will increase as the day warms. Avalanches are unlikely at the mid and lower elevations.
Avalanche Discussion
Conditions will be dry with strong temperature inversions. On Saturday skies will be mostly sunny above areas of morning valley fog. Overnight temperatures will drop to hear 10 degrees in the mountains and to near zero or colder in the valleys. Daytime highs will rise into the upper 20s in the mountains and to near 20 degrees at the lower elevations. Winds will be light and back from the northwest towards the southwest.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW. At the higher elevations isolated pockets of shallow wind slab could present a hazard in cliff areas. Some potential may remain for humans to trigger a pocket of dense slab up to two feet in depth on northerly aspects in extreme terrain. Avalanches are unlikely elsewhere.
