At the mid and upper elevations slab avalanches up to two feet in depth could be triggered by skiers or riders who venture onto very steep slopes or into cliff areas.
The snow that fell over the weekend is settling and bonding to old snow surfaces however areas of instability exist at the mid and upper elevations. Avalanches are unlikely at the lower elevations.

Thursday looks to be mostly dry and clear with a slight chance for isolated snow showers or flurries in the mountains. Mountain temperatures are to rise from the teens to the upper twenties to low thirties and winds are to be light. The general avalanche hazard will remain Moderate in western Wyoming. In very steep terrain that has seen recent wind loading, soft slabs to two foot depths could be triggered. In the Togwotee Pass area a slight chance also exists to trigger older hard slabs.
