Togwotee Pass

The general avalanche hazard is Moderate. The snowpack is underlain by weak faceted snow. Backcountry riders and skiers have the potential to trigger hard slabs to the ground in very steep avalanche terrain even after a slope has been crossed several times.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Light snow with little accumulation is expected overnight and through the day on Thursday. Temperatures are to rise into the low twenties and winds are to be light. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be:Moderate in the Teton area where pockets of human triggered dense surface slabs to three feet are possible in steep terrain.Moderate in the Togwotee Pass area where pockets of hard slabs to the ground are possible in very steep terrain.Considerable in Southwest Trails/Greys River area where surface slabs to two feet and dangerous hard slabs to the ground are possible in steep terrain.
