Tetons

Mostly stable snow exists and avalanches are generally unlikely. At the high elevations a slight potential remains to trigger pockets of hard slabs in isolated areas of very steep cliffy or rocky terrrain, particularly with north facing aspects. in areas where the new snow predicted to fall today accumulates on hard sliding surfaces, the potential to trigger very small and shallow surface slabs may develop by the late afternoon.

As this trough moves east the flow is backing towards the northwest and colder air is moving into the region. Skies will be cloudy overnight and the mountains will get a few more inches of snow. On Sunday skies will be mostly cloudy with a chance for a couple inches of additional snowfall. Snowfall will be heaviest over the Wyoming and the Salt River Ranges and along the east side of the Continental Divide as this system moves into the central and eastern portions of the state. Temperatures on Sunday will be in the teens and 20s. Winds will be light from the northwest at around 10 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW in the Teton and Greys River areas and MODERATE in the Togwotee Pass area. New snow will lie upon slick old snow surfaces and could be triggered by skiers on riders on steep slopes. These shallow loose snow slides could entrain sizable volumes of debris on long sustained pitches. In isolated areas persistent hard slabs could be human triggered on steep northerly aspects above an elevation of 9,000 feet with depths to three feet.
