Togwotee Pass

The General Avalanche Hazard is LOW. Isolated pockets of surface slab up to one foot in depth could be triggered by backcountry travelers venturing into cliff areas and steep, wind-loaded avalanche starting zones. These slabs will become more susceptible to failure as the day warms.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Mostly clear to partly cloudy skies are expected for Sunday. Ridgetop winds will veer to the north at 5 to 15 miles per hour. Overnight lows at all elevations will be in the low teens before rising into the mid 20s in the mountains and low to mid 30s in the valley on Sunday.The general avalanche hazard is expected to remain MODERATE at the upper elevations of the Teton Area. Wind slabs up to two feet in depth, which rest upon buried surface hoar and/or firm surfaces, could be triggered by backcountry travelers in steep, wind-loaded avalanche starting zones. These slabs will become more susceptible to failure as the day warms. The general avalanche hazard in the Teton Area below 9,000 feet, the Togwotee Pass/Continental Divide Area, and the Greys River/Southwest Trails Area is expected to be LOW.
