Tetons

Any avalanche activity should be limited to the new snow. Skiers and riders might be able to trigger an isolated pocket of shallow soft slab in very steep, wind loaded terrain above 9,000 feet. As the day warms, these slabs will become more susceptible to failure on sunlit aspects. Daytime warming will also bring about the possibility of small wet loose sluffs. These small slides could pose a threat to backcountry travelers in very steep, long couloirs and in terrain above cliff bands. Grand Teton National Park has extended its bighorn sheep winter habitat closure on Mount Hunt and in the Prospector Mountain/Static Peak area from April 1 until April 30. Please respect these closures.

Expect mostly sunny skies on Sunday as the transitory ridge of high pressure remains over the region. Overnight lows in the mountains will be in the mid-teens before rising into the upper twenties in the afternoon. Ridgetop winds will continue to be light and variable.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be Low on Sunday. As the day warms, shallow wet loose slides will become possible on sunlit aspects, particularly in the Southwest Trails forecast zone. Otherwise, avalanche activity will be unlikely. Monitor the effect of the sun, and transition to shaded terrain if conditions warrant.
