At 5 AM this morning an avalanche explosively triggered in the Glory Bowl avalanche path crossed the Teton Pass highway.

Clearing skies will give way to increasing clouds as another Pacific disturbance approaches the Northern Rockies. Snow should develop by mid morning and continue through Saturday night with up to 6 inches of light density snow expected. Overnight lows will dip into the single digits and rise into the teens on Saturday. Expect Westerly winds at 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph.AVALANCHE HAZARD FOR THE TETON, GREYS RIVER/SOUTHWEST TRAILS AND THE TOGWOTEE PASS/CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AREASThe general avalanche hazard is expected to be CONSIDERABLE at all elevations tomorrow. Dangerous slabs have continued to build on a variety of aspects and elevations which overlie an assortment of weak layers and sliding surfaces. While natural avalanches remain a possibility, cooler overnight temperatures and a lull in the snowfall will lead to a stabilizing trend where a trigger is likely needed to initiate a slab avalanche. These human triggered avalanches are probable tomorrow, and could also be remotely triggered from far away.The Teton Mountain Lodge in Teton Village will host a benefit apres ski party on Saturday December 3rd from 2 to 6 PM.
