Tetons

The snowpack is mostly stable above 8,500 feet. Up there, backcountry travelers might be able to trigger an isolated pocket of shallow soft slab or loose snow sluff in very steep, avalanche prone terrain. As the day warms, the chance for loose slides involving yesterday’s snowfall will increase on sunlit aspects. Below 8,500 feet, snow depths are insufficient for avalanche activity.

Some areas of patchy valley fog and scattered low stratus clouds may form overnight and linger into the morning hours. Skies will be mostly clear during the rest of the day. Temperatures will drop into the lower teens to single digits overnight and rise into the 20s to low 30s on Monday. Northwest winds will be light at 5 to 15 miles per hour.The snow that fell on Friday night lies upon a variety of crusts and faceted snow surfaces. Clear skies and cold temperatures will promote surface hoar growth and more faceting. The general avalanche hazard at the higher elevations is LOW and avalanches are unlikely. Snow depths below an elevation of 8,500 feet are insufficient for avalanche hazard.
