Togwotee Pass

Temperatures have been above or near freezing for an extended period. This has created extensive areas of weak, wet unconsolidated snow. The potential for wet slides to occur will increase as the day warms. Wet loose and wet slab avalanches are possible in cliff areas and in steep terrain at all elevations. The wet slabs could be quite large and up to four feet deep. These wet slides could be triggered by skiers and riders, release naturally or be triggered by a cornice drop. Stay off and out from under steep slopes in areas where snow surfaces are wet and unconsolidated.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Unsettled conditions are likely to continue with mostly cloudy skies and some scattered snow and rain showers. Temperatures will drop into the upper 20s and low 30s overnight. Daytime highs will again rise into the 30s, 40s, and 50s. Warm conditions will keep the wet snow avalanche hazard going in steep terrain at all elevations. Wet loose and wet slab avalanches are possible after snow surfaces soften. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE. Monitor conditions and avoid steep slopes if snow surfaces are wet and unconsolidated.
