Tetons

The snowpack is mostly stable. Avalanches are unlikely. At the highest elevations isolated pockets of wind slab less than a foot in depth may be present. These small, shallow slabs could pose a danger to climbers and ski or snowboard mountaineers who venture into cliff areas, steep couloirs and other extreme terrain features. Monitor conditions for wet snow avalanche hazards on steep sunlit slopes during the warmest portion of the day.

Skies will become mostly clear under a weak ridge. Temperatures will rise into the 30’s and 40’s from overnight lows that will be in the teens. East and northeast winds will slowly diminish.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be low. The snowpack is mostly stable. Avalanche hazards are likely to be confined to terrain with potential consequences from small slides. Small pockets of stiff wind slab up to a foot in depth could be triggered by ski and snowboard mountaineers in isolated terrain features at the higher elevations. Sunshine and warmer temperatures will soften snow surfaces on steep sunlit aspects and increase the wet snow avalanche hazard. Shallow wet slides are possible on very steep slopes during the warmest portion of the day. Small slides can be dangerous in cliff areas and extreme terrain.
