Tetons

Slabs to two feet in depth could be human triggered on very steep lee slopes at upper elevations. Shallow areas of snow over steep cliff bands and chutes rests on weak faceted crystals and should be avoided. Drifting new snow will make slabs more sensitive to human triggers. Mostly stable snow exists at the mid and lower elevations.

Snow showers are to dissipate overnight with partly cloudy skies expected Thursday. Mountain temperatures in the single digits in the morning will warm into the teens while winds from the northeast have averages from fifteen to twenty five miles per hour along ridge tops.The avalanche hazard above 9000 feet will be MODERATE. In isolated areas the chance continues to trigger slab avalanches to depths of two feet in very steep shaded terrain. The hazard below 9000 feet will be LOW in the shallow early season snowpack.
