Tetons
Avalanche danger
Highlights
Mostly stable snow exist. Human triggered avalanches are unlikely and limited to isolated features in extreme terrain, like cliff areas and hanging snowfields. Some potential may remain for hard slab avalanches to fail on very steep, rocky faces where faceted snow persist at the base of the snowpack. Monitor conditions for isolated areas of unstable snow.
Avalanche Discussion
A weak weather system rapidly moving from west to east will bring clouds and the chance for snow flurries to the mountains. These clouds should dissipate early in the afternoon on Tuesday. Temperatures will drop into the 20s overnight and rise into the 30s during the day. Winds along the summits will be westerly at 10 to 15 miles per hour with higher gusts.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE in the Togwotee Pass area where human triggered hard slab avalanches could be triggered to depths of three feet in steep, rocky, north facing terrain above an elevation of 9,000 feet. The general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW in the Teton and Greys River areas. In those areas mostly stable snow exist and avalanches are unlikely except in isolated areas on northerly aspects above an elevation of 9,000 feet.
