Togwotee Pass
Avalanche danger
Highlights
The snowpack is mostly stable this morning. On very steep slopes, the possibility of small wet slides will return with daytime warming and sunshine. Monitor temperatures and the impact of the sun, and avoid slopes with wet, unconsolidated snow. With the current stress on our health care community, an extra margin of safety is warranted.
