Avalanche danger
Highlights
The general avalanche hazard remains MODERATE above an elevation of 8,500 feet. Pockets of surface slab up to 18 inches in depth persist and could be human triggered. Below an elevation of 8,500 feet the snowpack is mostly stable and the general avalanche hazard is LOW.
Avalanche Discussion
( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )The northwest flow will bring areas of light snow Monday night then drier conditions are expected Tuesday. Morning low temperatures will be around five below zero and daytime highs will warm to near ten degrees. Winds will be west to southwesterly at 25 miles per hour overnight then 20 miles per hour Tuesday.The snowpack is mostly stable at all elevations. Isolated pockets of slab to 12 inches in depth could be released in very steep areas near ridge crests or steep rocky areas. The general avalanche danger is expected to be LOW in the Tetons Tuesday and MODERATE in the Togwotee Pass and Southwest Trails/Greys River areas where the potential to trigger slabs to 18 inches in depth is more widespread.
