Togwotee Pass

The general avalanche hazard is LOW. The early season snowpack is mostly stable and avalanches are unlikely except on very steep slopes above 9,000 feet where drifted snow lies upon crusty old snow surfaces. In these areas, backcountry travelers might be able to trigger an isolated pocket of wind slab 6 to 12 inches in depth. Slopes are bare below 7,500 feet.
