Tetons

A generally stable snowpack exists. Low hazard does not mean no hazard. Above 9000 feet, the chance continues for skiers and riders to trigger small wind slab avalanches. Steep couloirs and cliff areas remain areas of concern where even small slides can have sudden and severe consequences. Daytime warming and morning sunshine could increase the sensitivity of these slabs and allow for small wetslide activity.

A small amount of snow is expected overnight with a better batch of moisture impacting the area Sunday. This system is arrive mid morning. By evening, approximately four inches of snow could fall at the higher elevations. Rain or a mix of rain and snow is expected in the valleys. Mountain temperatures are to reach the mid-thirties where southwest winds with fifteen to twenty five mile per hour winds are expected. The general avalanche hazard is to be Low in the Teton area where isolated pockets of shallow wind slab could be triggered in steep cliff areas and couloirs at higher elevations. In the Togwotee Pass and Southwest Trails areas the danger will remain Moderate above 9,000 feet where a slight chance to trigger hard slabs on persistent weaknesses persists on some avalanche starting zones. Avalanche hazard involving the potential new snowfall is not expected. Below 9000 feet avalanches are not expected.
