Highlights

At the mid and upper elevations, pockets of dense surface slab up to thirty inches deep rest upon buried surface hoar and sun crusts. The possibility persists for backcountry travelers to trigger these slabs in steep, avalanche-prone terrain. At the lower elevations, the snowpack is mostly stable and avalanches are unlikely.

Avalanche Discussion

Mostly clear skies and dry conditions are expected on Monday. Overnight lows in the mountains will be in the negative single digits before rising into the teens during the day. Ridgetop winds will back to the northeast at 5 to 15 miles per hour.The General Avalanche Hazard is expected to be:MODERATE in the Teton area where it will be possible for backcountry travelers to trigger pockets of dense surface slab up to thirty inches deep in steep terrain.CONSIDERABLE in the Greys River area. In steep terrain, skiers and riders could trigger surface slabs to two feet along with dangerous, full depth hard slabs.MODERATE in the Togwotee Pass area where triggering pockets of hard slab to the ground will be possible in very steep terrain.
