Tetons

On shaded aspects above 9,000 feet, backcountry travelers have a small chance of triggering isolated areas of slabs up to two feet deep in very steep, active avalanche paths. Elsewhere, avalanches are unlikely in the shallow, early season snowpack.

A weak weather system will pass by to the northeast Wednesday Night with some light snowfall in the mountains and areas of light snow or flurries in the lower elevations. Clouds will increase during the day with areas of light snow developing by evening. Temperatures will rise into the low 20s from overnight lows in the single digits above zero at the highest elevations and the single digits below zero at the lowest elevations. Winds will be west-northwesterly at five to ten miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW. Mostly stable snow exists and avalanches are unlikely except in isolated areas. Those areas are very steep shaded aspects above an elevation of 9,500 feet that avalanche frequently. In those areas the potential may exist for humans to trigger pockets of dense slab up to two feet deep.
