Togwotee Pass

The snowpack is mostly stable, and moving snow hazards will likely only involve the snow at the surface of the snowpack. Above 9,000 feet, a person could trigger isolated pockets of small slab avalanches, less than a foot in-depth, on wind-loaded features in steep avalanche terrain. As the day warms and on slopes that receive direct sunlight, small shallow wet slides may be triggered by a person or could occur naturally on steep slopes. Backcountry travelers should manage their terrain choices as these small slides could have severe outcomes if triggered over cliffs or in steep couloirs.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Winds are expected to lessen overnight with dry weather forecasted through the weekend. Tomorrow skies should be mostly sunny with light westerly winds. Temperatures will again drop into the single digits and then warm into the 20s and 30s. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be Low in all the forecast areas tomorrow. Above 9,000 feet, skiers and riders could trigger small isolated pockets of wind slab on steep terrain. As the day warms, it will be possible for small, shallow wet snow slides to be triggered by a person or occur naturally on steep sunlit slopes. These small slides could be quite dangerous if triggered in terrain with serious consequences like over cliffs or in steep couloirs.
