Tetons

The snowpack is mostly stable; however some isolated areas of instability may exist in extreme terrain. Humans who venture into steep couloirs and cliff areas could trigger small pockets of wind slab less than a foot in depth or small wet slides during the heat of the day. These small slides could knock a person over and carry them down a very steep slope or over a cliff. Monitor conditions and avoid steep avalanche prone terrain after significant warming has occurred and snow surfaces have softened.

Conditions will remain dry under a high pressure ridge. Skies will be mostly clear. Temperatures are forecast to drop into the upper 20s overnight and rise into the 40s and 50s in the mountains and into the 60s in the valleys. Winds will relax to speeds of five to ten miles per hour and veer towards the north.The general avalanche hazard will be LOW in the early morning hours and increase to MODERATE after snow surfaces soften. Wet loose and small wet slab avalanches will become possible in very steep terrain. Cornice failures will become a possibility and could trigger large slab avalanches on steep slopes. Deeper hard slabs may become sensitive to human triggers in isolated locations at the upper elevations in the Togwotee Pass and Greys River areas. Monitor conditions and avoid steep avalanche prone terrain after significant warming occurs.
