Tetons

The snowpack is mostly stable except in cliff areas and on very steep slopes. Isolated pockets of very shallow new soft slab will begin to form at the upper elevations. Some potential lingers in isolated areas for humans to trigger slabs up to five feet deep in in very steep cliff areas. At the lower elevation isolated pockets of hard slab up to 30 inches in depth persist in steep wind loaded avalanche starting zones.

Lingering snow showers overnight could produce 1 to 3 inches of light density snow by Sunday morning. Northwest winds at 20 to 25 miles per hour will keep temperatures cold with overnight lows in the mountains dipping into the single digits before rising into the teens on Sunday. The General Avalanche Hazard is expected to be LOW in the Tetons where backcountry travelers could trigger 6 to 12 inch pockets of soft slab in steep, wind-loaded starting zones. In the Southwest Trails/Greys River and Continental Divide/Togwotee Pass areas, the General Avalanche Hazard is expected to remain MODERATE. Some potential still persists for backcountry travelers, particularly high marking snow machines, to trigger dangerous hard slabs to five feet in depth on very steep slopes and in cliff areas.
