Togwotee Pass

Air temperatures dropped to near freezing overnight. At all elevations the general avalanche hazard will be LOW in the early morning hours and increase to MODERATE after snow surfaces soften. Significant warming will occur today and create instability in a snowpack that is experiencing a transition from dry winter to wet spring conditions. Wet slides are possible at all elevations. In addition humans could trigger dense slab avalanches up to several feet deep on buried old snow surfaces in steep avalanche prone terrain at the mid and upper elevations.
