Tetons

The General Avalanche Hazard is MODERATE at the mid and upper elevations, where pockets of surface slabs to a foot in depth could be triggered in steep wind loaded terrain. A slight possibility continues to trigger deep slabs in areas where they are underlain by a weak snow layer, particularly on steep Northerly and shaded aspects. Avalanches are not expected in the shallow snowpack at low elevations.

Skies are expected to be partly cloudy. A slight chance of post frontal snow showers will last until Friday afternoon. Temperatures will drop to near zero Thursday night and rise into the teens in the mountains on Friday. The northeast winds will relax and became light and variable.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE on Friday. Skiers and riders could trigger soft surface slabs 6 to 18 inches deep on steep wind loaded aspects. The potential persist for humans especially those on snowmachines to trigger dangerous deep slabs on very steep slopes underlain by weak faceted snow.
