Togwotee Pass

Above 9000 feet, isolated pockets of shallow wind slab can be found in steep wind loaded areas. Although small in size, if triggered, these slabs could cause serious consequences as they can carry a person into terrain hazards such as rocks and stumps. Although avalanches are unlikely at lower elevations, caution is advised given the low snow depths. Low elevation terrain remains mostly barren of snow.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Mountain showers are to diminish this evening before another cold front enters the area on Thursday. This system has little moisture with it so expect showery activity to bring another inch or two of snow to the mountains. High temperatures are to be in the low twenties and winds are to be westerly at 10-25 mph. The general avalanche hazard will be Low tomorrow throughout western Wyoming on Thursday. Isolated pockets of soft slab could be triggered in very steep wind loaded terrain features above 9000 feet. Slabs depths to a foot are possible and backcountry travelers should avoid these loaded features as even very small slides could sweep someone into exposed terrain hazards like rocks and stumps given the low snow depths. Avalanches between 7500 and 9000 feet are unlikely and terrain below 7500 lacks sufficient snow coverage for avalanches.
