Avalanche danger
Highlights
The early season snowpack is mostly stable. Isolated pockets of shallow wind slabs may exist in very steep wind loaded terrain at the high elevations. Be cautious of the hazards involved with low snow depths. Teton County Search and Rescue responded to two separate injuries on Teton Pass over the last week. Below 8,500 feet, snow depths quickly diminish along with the possibility of avalanche activity.
