Togwotee Pass

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE above an elevation of 8,000 feet. Unstable slabs up to 30 inches in depth lie upon a base of weak faceted snow. These slabs could be triggered by the first skier or snow machine to cross a steep slope or by a skier or snow machine on a steep slope with multiple tracks. Evaluate terrain and snow stability carefully. At the lower elevations where there is significantly less snow the general avalanche hazard is LOW. Avalanches are unlikely except for shallow loose snow sloughs on very steep slopes.
